Notification of the SEC's Intent to Award a Single Source Purchase Order for Source Media

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to Source Media for subscription to investment publications. The Contracting Officer has determined that Source Media is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC's requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). The required publications are under copyright and electronic access to the content is only available through Source Media; therefore, it is not possible for another source to meet the requirement.

The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one year and the total value of the order shall be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The SEC intends to award a purchase order to Source Media, Inc. on or about August 30, 2018.

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.
