LEADERSHIP LIBRARY

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation plans to award a fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to Leadership Directories, Inc. for a subscription to the Leadership Library, an exclusive online directory that provides comprehensive information on federal agencies, congressional offices, state and municipal governments, news media, and news professionals. This directory includes biographical and contact details for over 800,000 individuals across more than 40,000 federal and state government, corporate, legal, and nonprofit organizations. The contract is being awarded without competition because the contracting officer has determined that Leadership Directories, Inc. is the only provider capable of meeting OPIC's requirements, as the information contained in the Leadership Library is unique, copyrighted, and unavailable from any other source. The contract is expected to be awarded before July 1, 2016, with a performance period consisting of one base year and four option years. This procurement falls under the NAICS code 511140, with the place of performance located in Washington, DC. There will be no competitive solicitation issued for this procurement. The designated point of contact for this contract is Glenda O. Martin, Contract Specialist. This arrangement ensures OPIC’s access to critical and unique directory data necessary for its operations.
