About this file
This document is a recommendation to solicit from one source or brand name for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. It recommends negotiating with only FiscalNote and Knowlegis for renewal of their software services. The services include daily updates on Congressional members and staff, same-day transcription services, and access to a 35-year legislative history database. The total estimated cost for an 11/1/2023 to 10/31/2024 period of performance is redacted. Soliciting other vendors would risk work stoppage, as NASA leadership relies on these services for Congressional contacts, legislative research, and senior meetings. The related federal contract opportunity is a renewal for the FiscalNote and Knowlegis software under solicitation number 80NSSC24847389Q-R1.

We are soliciting services from brand name FiscalNote and Knowlegis software due to the fact that we already have an established account for 40 users, and this is a mission critical service that OLIA needs to maintain. We understand that other vendors provide a similar service, but this vendor is the only one who provides same day and on demand service for transcripts along with access to their Knowlegis database.
FiscalNote and Knowlegis access also provides daily updates for Congressional Members and staff as well as housing 35 years’ worth of legislative histories that are critical for to determine Congressional voting trends.
2. What is the impact to the government if another vendor/brand is used?
Include any dollar, schedule, or compatibility impacts if possible.
The impact to the government if another software other than the stated would be for our organization to experience a work stoppage.
