Notification of the SEC's Intent to Award a Single Source Purchase Order for access to Law Journal Press Publications

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to ALM Media, LLC, 120 Bdwy 5th Floor, New York, NY, 10271, for access to Law Journal Press Publications. The Contracting Officer has determined that ALM Media, LLC is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC's requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b) because ALM Media, LLC is the only known source that provides access to the requested Law Journal Publications. Access to this product will improve the ability of the staff to learn about the latest information on Merger and Acquisition structures, background, innovations, recent developments and legal/accounting issues. The publications are under copyright, so it is not possible for another source to meet the requirement.

The SEC intends to award a purchase order to ALM Media, LLC on or about May 30, 2018. The period of performance of the purchase order is anticipated to be 12 months with four (4) 12-month option periods. The total award value will be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. 

This notice is not a competitive request for proposals.  A competitive solicitation will not be issued. However, the government will give consideration to interested parties that identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by the response date of this notice.
