About this file

This is a Single Source Determination document using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a federal contract action not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (CSAD), proposes to procure 14 licenses for RS Means Full Library data access from RSMeans Company, LLC (a subsidiary of Gordian Group, Inc.), located at P.O. Box 75008495, Chicago, IL 60674-8495. The project managers require this dataset to build accurate construction cost estimates necessary for project management. The justification for single-source procurement is based on market research findings that online searches for RS Means full library access on GSA eBuy, NASA SEWP, and the Small Business Dynamic Database were unsuccessful, and RSMeans Company, LLC is the only source of RS Means subscription data. The determination was digitally signed by Megan Nicole Whipple (OLE.1394901624) on March 20, 2024, with reference number NA-AJ5700-22-00380.
