About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has a requirement for comprehensive legal reference materials, including online databases, treatises, and periodicals, to support its Office of General Counsel and Contracting and Procurement Office. DCSA has determined that Thomson Reuters and its Westlaw platform are the sole source capable of providing the full suite of legal resources needed to meet these requirements. The Justification and Approval document cites the lack of any other vendors capable of meeting DCSA's needs based on market research. The anticipated 5-year contract value is redacted, and the contract was awarded to an unnamed vendor on August 30, 2024.

Specifically, the reference materials must include access to the following:
a. Physical access to current copies of the U.S. Code, Merit Systems Board Reporter, Corpus Juris Secondum, legal forms compendium, federal rules of civil and criminal procedure, federal acquisition regulation, as well as commentaries, annotations, and updates to these references;
b. Extensive online access to legal databases including federal and state case law, statutes, regulations, administrative codes, legal encyclopedias, treaties, law reviews, and journals;
c. Citation service, which allows users to check the validity of their research;
d. Document analysis tools to help identify relevant legal authorities and insights.
DCSA’s Contracting and Procurement Office (CPO) has a need for online access to the Nash and Cibinic Report (N&CR).

Only one online database and publishing company, Thomson Reuters, provides all of the federal legal reference materials and resources needed by DCSA-OGC and DCSA-CPO. Westlaw Reference Materials and online access is only available through Thomson Reuters.
