This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from the FCC's Enterprise Acquisition Center for a Communications Daily & Litigation subscription. The document justifies a sole-source award to Warren Communications News under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source).

The requirement is for a subscription to Communications Daily (CD), which provides FCC employees with telecom regulation news, including daily headline email summaries, in-depth PDF digests, online access to 35+ years of archives, and special bulletins. The contract includes a base period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026, plus four 12-month option periods through January 31, 2030. The subscription is customized for FCC with five journalists dedicated to FCC coverage and two for litigation topics. The justification cites CD's unique qualifications, including copyrighted content, customized coverage, and more comprehensive reporting compared to competitors like TR, Politico, Bloomberg, Law360, and others. The document confirms Warren Communications News as the only responsible source that can meet the agency's needs, with the justification to be made publicly available within 14 days after award per FAR 6.305.
