LexisNexis in support of VA R&D

The VA Service Area Office East (SAO-E) R&D Contracting Office intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with LexisNexis, 1150 18th St., NW Ste. 250, Washington, DC 22036, for the procurement of a successor contract to the current one with LexisNexis expiring in Sept 2018. End user is the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System- Epidemiologic Research and Information Center (ERIC). The contract is used to maintain the best/most up-to-date mailing addresses and telephone numbers and birth and mortality data, etc., on individuals.



This procurement is being conducted in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(B)(only 1 responsible source) because the Government believes that LexisNexis is the only provider capable of providing access to the types of data needed by the VA in support of R&D activities, and that would ensure a seamless transition/no loss of data from expiring contract to new contract.
