R -- FEDLINK Information Retrieval Services Delivery Orders with Dow Jones and Company (DJ)

The Library of Congress plans to issue delivery orders under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Dow Jones and Company to renew subscriptions for FEDLINK members, specifically for SSLV. This arrangement will continue providing access to Dow Jones Interactive, a comprehensive information retrieval service featuring over 6,000 sources, including reputable newswires like Dow Jones, Reuters, and the Associated Press, as well as full-text versions of major newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. The service also includes business and trade publications, government and political sources, full transcripts of political TV news shows, and key government hearing transcripts, with access guaranteed through September 30, 2003. No solicitation document has been issued for this renewal, and the Library of Congress will not accept telephone inquiries. Interested parties wishing to respond must provide written submissions that include pricing and technical data adequate to assess capability, though no award decision will be based on offers or proposals from this notice. The contract is managed by the Library of Congress FEDLINK office, with Charles A. Wilson as the Contract Specialist and Joan M. Fitts as the Contracting Officer. Additional information about FEDLINK and vendor participation can be obtained via their official website or through direct contact with the vendor services coordinator.
