Notice of Intent to Sole Source GSA

The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has issued a Notice of Intent to sole source a follow-on task order to LRP Publications, Inc. for the provision of CyberFEDS Workman's Compensation and Manager Advantage subscription services. This Special Notice was posted on December 11, 2025, with a response deadline of December 27, 2025. The procurement will be executed under GSA Schedule 47QTCA20D002P and represents a continuation of the government's existing relationship with LRP Publications. The sole source justification is based on LRP Publications' exclusive ownership and development of a unique combination of federal employment case decisions, statutes, regulations, manuals, guides, pay tables, bulletins, and news resources that are not available through competing providers.

The objective of this procurement is to provide three organizational units within NNSA—Human Resources, Cyber FEDs Support Branch, and General Counsel—with comprehensive web-based legal research capabilities to support 86 total users. The task order is structured as a firm-fixed price contract with a three-year performance period spanning fiscal years 2026 through 2029, with an anticipated start date of March 14, 2026. The government has conducted market research comparing commercial legal research database providers including WestlawNext, Lexis Advance, Bloomberg, and Casemaker, and has determined that LRP Publications' pricing is fair and reasonable. Since this is a sole source procurement, no competitive bidding is permitted; however, the publication of this Notice of Intent allows for any potential interested parties to submit a protest or provide information regarding alternative sources prior to the final award decision.
