About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to ALLIUM US HOLDING LLC for access to the Accuris Standards database. This Notice of Proposed Contract Action is being issued under FAR 13.501 authority and is not a solicitation for competitive bids. The database provides comprehensive access to engineering and technical standards covering various industries including iron and steel products, construction, petroleum, textiles, electrical systems, water technology, nuclear energy, medical devices, and chemical products. The proposed contract would be a firm-fixed price agreement with a performance period from September 16, 2025, through September 15, 2030. The notice falls under NAICS code 513199 for "All Other Publishers."
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research and notify potential sources of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding. Interested parties have until September 15, 2025, to respond and identify their interest and capability to provide similar services, though responses are not requests for quotes or proposals. The government explicitly states that any determination not to compete this contract based on received responses remains solely at their discretion. Contractors responding should demonstrate their ability to provide unlimited access to both active and historical technical standards across the specified industry sectors. The notice serves as a final opportunity for the market to indicate whether competitive sources exist before the agency proceeds with the intended sole source award to ALLIUM US HOLDING LLC.
