The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to Elsevier B.V. for electronic subscription to selected Elsevier journals, including access to current issues and back-files from 1997 to the present.   The Contracting Officer has determined that Elsevier B.V. is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC’s requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). The publications are under copyright; therefore, it is not possible for another source to meet the requirement.  In addition, only the publisher provides searchable access to the most recent journal issues with the required back-files.

The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one (1) Base Period of 12 months and four (4) Option Periods of 12 months each, and the total value of the order shall be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The SEC intends to award a purchase order to Elsevier B.V. on or about December 2, 2019. This notice is not a competitive request for proposals.  A competitive solicitation will not be issued. However, the government will give consideration to interested parties that identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by the response date of this notice.
