About this opportunity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Acquisition Management has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a sole source purchase order for E&E News, Politico Pro's "Energy Package" news subscription. This procurement is being conducted under the statutory authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and is classified as commercial services. The opportunity is posted on September 26, 2025, with a response deadline of September 29, 2025. The contract falls under NAICS code 516210 for Media Streaming Distribution Services, Social Networks, and Other Media Networks and Content Providers, and PSC code 7630 for Newspapers and Periodicals. This is explicitly not a request for competitive quotes, as EPA intends to award directly to Politico.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to formally announce EPA's intention to procure specialized energy news subscription services through a sole source arrangement with Politico. The procurement will be structured as a firm fixed price purchase order, with detailed specifications and requirements outlined in an attached Performance Work Statement. The notice provides a brief response window of only three days, reflecting the non-competitive nature of the procurement. Since this is a sole source award, there are no eligibility criteria for contractors to compete, as the agency has determined that Politico is the only source capable of providing the required energy news package. The procurement demonstrates EPA's need for specialized industry news coverage to support its environmental and energy-related mission activities.
