Sole Source Notification - Thomson Reuters Subscriptions and Printed Products

The University of Wyoming's Procurement and Payment Services has issued a Sole Source Notification for Thomson Reuters subscriptions and printed products specifically for legal information resources. The procurement is focused on acquiring ongoing subscriptions to core primary law books, finding aids, treatise sets, and other legal publications for student instruction, scholarly research, and legal practice within Albany County. Key deliverables include publications such as the Wyoming Reporter, topic and key number indexes, treatise sets, American Jurisprudence, and American Law Reports. The solicitation requires interested parties to submit a Statement of Capabilities electronically through BidNet's portal by 2:00 PM (MDT) on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Evaluation criteria will be based solely on quality, performance, and price, with the university reserving the right to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary based on submitted capabilities statements.

The sole source notification does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to potential suppliers who can demonstrate comparable product capabilities. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the notification indicates that any resulting purchase orders will be governed by the University of Wyoming's standard Terms and Conditions. The current incumbent vendor is Thomson Reuters, a legal information publisher, and the procurement seeks to maintain existing subscriptions and printed product lines. No specific infrastructure integration requirements are detailed in the document. Potential suppliers are advised that this notification is informational and not a formal request for competitive quotes, with the university maintaining discretion to pursue competitive or sole source procurement based on received submissions.
