About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source contract to Proquest LLC for a ProQuest Legislative Insight online research subscription. The OCC plans to utilize FAR 13.5 Simplified Procedure for Certain Commercial Items to procure this legislative research database service. ProQuest Legislative Insight provides comprehensive full-text congressional documents and compiled legislative histories dating back to 1789, meeting Congressional Information Service standards. The OCC maintains this subscription specifically to support their legal experts and public affairs teams in conducting legislative history research. This special notice indicates the agency's intention to award the contract without competition unless responses demonstrate viable alternative capabilities.
The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the OCC's sole source intent while providing an opportunity for other vendors to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement. Interested parties have until October 8, 2025, to submit pricing and technical documentation proving their ability to provide equivalent services. The contract period would run from January 2026 through January 2027, with four additional one-year option periods available. No formal solicitation document will be issued, and this notice does not constitute a request for competitive quotes. The OCC retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on any responses received, with information submitted being evaluated primarily to assess whether alternative sources warrant a competitive process.
