Project background. The Office of Information Services is responsible for the agency’s Technical Library which contains a collection of scientific and technical books, journals, reports, industrial codes and standards among other materials. This acquisition is a follow-on to the current order no. NRC-DR-33-09-418 which ends on December 31, 2102. The incumbent purchase order was not competed because market research has revealed ASCE is the only source that will allow for more than one user under one subscription. The proposed effort will provide NRC staff with continuing online access to ASCE journals and proceedings will is used by the NRC staff for research of technical and scientific information in engineering and related fields. The base period of performance for this proposed effort will begin on January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, with two option years.
