About this opportunity
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source Purchase Order to RELX, Inc. for LexisNexis research and legal database subscriptions. The procurement is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for single-source procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The contract will provide the USITC Library Division with access to comprehensive legal information, research data, and academic journals to support the Commission's analysts. The sole-source justification is based on the unique capabilities of the LexisNexis platform, which offers integrated resources and specialized content not available through alternative providers. The notice emphasizes that this is an informational announcement and not a competitive solicitation.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to procure a LexisNexis Plus subscription for USITC's research needs, with a performance period spanning a base year and three one-year options from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The government will consider any information submitted within five days of the notice's posting date, though telephonic inquiries are strongly discouraged. Contractors should direct any communications to Alisha Hunt, the Contracting Officer, via email at Alisha.Hunt@usitc.gov. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services) and PSC Category DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software as a Service). Notably, this is a non-competitive procurement, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the action. Interested parties should carefully review the attached Justification and Approval (J&A) document for comprehensive details about the procurement's rationale and scope.
