About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to TRADE DATA SERVICES, INC for ImportGenius services. This notice was posted on September 4, 2025, and is categorized under NAICS code 519290 for Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services. The agency has determined that no other suppliers can meet their specific requirements for ImportGenius capabilities. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a formal notification of the government's planned procurement approach. The notice serves as an opportunity for other potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities before the final contracting decision is made.
The primary purpose of this notice is to provide transparency regarding the agency's sole-source procurement strategy while allowing market research to occur before contract award. Interested parties have until September 8, 2025, to submit responses demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent services to ImportGenius. The government will consider all responses received by the closing date to determine whether a competitive procurement would be more advantageous. There are no specific eligibility criteria outlined, as this is not a formal solicitation, but respondents must demonstrate they can meet the agency's specific requirements for ImportGenius services. If no qualifying alternative sources are identified through this process, the Department of Commerce will proceed with awarding the contract directly to TRADE DATA SERVICES, INC as originally planned.
Notice text
The agency plans to enter a contract on a sole-source basis with TRADE DATA SERVICES, INC, on the basis that no other supplies or services can meet the Agency’s requirements for ImportGenius.
This is NOT a solicitation for quotations, quotation abstracts, a request for competitive quotations; or request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received prior to the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.
A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, a contract will be issued to TRADE DATA SERVICES, INC.
