About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a purchase order on a sole-source basis to Sciome LLC for Swift-Active Screener licenses, with a response deadline of June 26, 2026. The procurement is for non-personal services under FAR 12.102(a) with no set-aside; NAICS 541519 applies. Period of performance runs from August 17, 2026 through August 16, 2030 (base plus three one-year option years).
NOAA's sole-source determination reflects that Sciome LLC is the only vendor manufacturing and distributing Swift-Active Screener, the sole article-screening application employing a statistical analysis algorithm to signal screeners when they have met a specified percentage of relevant papers. NOAA asserts that without this capability, library staff would expend substantially more time and effort; the capability enables the NOAA Library to conserve staff resources, process more requests, and better support the research mission. Sciome LLC has confirmed its sole-source status.
This is not a competitive solicitation and no RFP package is available. Firms believing they can fully satisfy the requirements may submit substantiating documentation or requests for additional information in writing to Jamie Rosales-Wold, NOAA Western Acquisition Division, Boulder, Colorado, within 15 days of publication. Such submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether to proceed with the sole-source procurement.

WITH THIS CAPABILITY THE NOAA LIBRARY IS ABLE TO SAVE STAFF TIME, PROCESS MORE REQUESTS, AND BETTER SUPPORT THE NOAA RESEARCH MISSION. SCIOME LLC HAS CONFIRMED THEY ARE THE SOLE SOURCE.
