The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to award a sole source contract to Thomson West for the provision of print legal publications, which encompass federal and state legal information, statutes, administrative rules and regulations, handbooks, reporters, treatises, and maintenance services. The contract will cover the period from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2007. The SEC has determined that Thomson West is the only known source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements, thus no solicitation will be issued for competitive bidding. While this notice serves as a formal Announcement of Intent to award the contract, it does not constitute a solicitation, and no further information will be provided regarding this sole source procurement. Although other organizations may submit capability statements and qualifications, their submissions may or may not be considered by the agency. The contract falls under the NAICS code 511120, pertaining to print publishing, and the SEC office managing this award is located in Washington, DC.
