- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (""CFTC"") intends to negotiate and award a sole-source purchase order for 700 online subscriptions to the New York Times. The Government intends to procure this requirement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and 41 U.S.C 3304(a)(1) � �the property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.� CFTC intends to award a purchase order with one base year, and two option years, for a total period of performance of three (3) years. CFTC requires up to date information and analysis related to all aspects of the market as well as access to other news that may affect commodity markets. The New York Times is a comprehensive newspaper that provides unique financial news as well as all other exclusive news that may have an impact on commodity markets. A subscription to New York Times will provide some of the information necessary to carry out the CFTC mission, some of which is exclusive to the New York Times Company.� CFTC knows of no alternative source that can provide information that is exclusive to the New York Times. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS nor a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 5:00pm ET, May 23, 2022. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish capability to fulfill the requirement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes for future Market Research requirements. No formal solicitation package is available. The Government anticipates award on or about May 30, 2021. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement.
