About this opportunity
The International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a Special Notice regarding its intent to sole source a one-year subscription to the CAS SciFinder-n chemical database from the American Chemical Society (ACS). The USITC requires this database subscription to support the ongoing duties of its chemist and nomenclature analyst in the Office of Tariff Affairs and Trade Agreements.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the public of the USITC's plan to award a sole source purchase order to ACS for the CAS SciFinder-n subscription, valued at an unspecified amount. The notice provides a brief justification for the sole source determination, citing the vendor's prior successful performance, the lack of peer equivalents, and the unique capabilities of the database. The USITC is instructing interested parties to submit any relevant information within 5 days for consideration, though a Request for Quote will not be issued. The period of performance for the one-year subscription is September 15, 2024 through September 14, 2025.
