Sole Source Award Notice

The United States International Trade Commission awarded a sole-source purchase order, solicitation number 34300020P0004, to West Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters located in Eagan, Minnesota. This contract provides subscription services specifically for the renewal of recurring print orders for the Office of General Counsel, which include essential legal handbooks and treaty updates. The procurement was conducted under NAICS code 511120, with a period of performance spanning from November 27, 2019, to September 30, 2020. The decision to utilize a single source award was justified by the existence of copyright restrictions, which precluded the use of alternative vendors for these specific legal materials. The agreement was managed by the USITC office in Washington, DC, with Myra Lay and Debra Bridge serving as the primary points of contact for the acquisition.
