About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure an annual subscription to the CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform, which includes access to the CAS SciFinder, CAS Formulus, and CAS Analytical Methods products. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract on a sole-source basis to Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society. Evaluation criteria will include price, technical capabilities, and past performance, with price being a significant factor. Quotes are due by 11:00am ET on May 21, 2024.
