RFQ N66604-26-Q-0014

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT

WILL BE ISSUED.

This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with format in FAR Subpart 12.6 – Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and quotes are being requested. A written solicitation will not be issued.

In accordance with FAR 5.203(a)(2) this solicitation will be posted for less than fifteen (15) days.

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to purchase, on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and sole source basis, Janes Group Subscriptions as Identified below. As Janes group is renown as the world leading publisher for open-source defense intelligence, Janes’ specific and proprietary content is widely relied upon in the defense industry. Failure to procure the same specific content that is relied upon in the defense industry would leave Navy researchers slow to learn about – or even ignorant of – leading open-source defense intelligence. Not obtaining Jane’s content would hinder preparedness that is critical to maintaining Navy operational advantage and mission success.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any firm believing it can fulfill this requirement may submit a written response which shall be considered by the agency. The written response shall reference solicitation number N66604-26-Q-0014 and provide a capability statement that clearly indicates the firm’s experience, assets, background, and ability to perform the required work without compromising the quality, accuracy, reliability, and schedule.

This requirement is being solicited on a 100% small business set aside basis in concurrence with the small business advocate. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 519290 and the small business size standard is 1,000 Employees
