- Description
- The Library of Congress intends to issue delivery orders against an existing Basic Ordering Agreement to renew subscriptions with Press Association, Inc. (AP) for the continued use and access of their services for the following FEDLINK member: NSAV. The Associated Press (AP) News Service offers a "real time", continuous news feed that delivers the latest domestic and world news directly to mainframe, personal computer or printer as it is filed from their global network of news bureaus. News gathering is a cooperative effort between Associated Press's reporters and the contributions of AP's member newspapers and broadcast stations. The news is packaged so that the subscriber can order--from a wide menu of choices--the specific type of report that will suit their needs. AP produces over 20 million words and hundreds of photos and graphics from state, national and international bureaus. AP reports on political news, federal and state agencies, legislation, major economic developments in US and foreign markets, agriculture, business, sports, technology and other news of general interest. Foreign bureaus file news stories daily from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Japan and Pacific Rim countries, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. AP has developed industry-specific news services for the following industries: Business/Finance, Agriculture, Technology, Politics, Environment, Energy, Disasters, Automotive, and Medical. The industry-specific news is available via the AP ALERT SERVICES that are available on a monthly basis. Also available is a web-based news-management software platform that is password protected and internet accessible. Service will be continued through September 30, 2003. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS. No telephone calls will be accepted. WRITTEN RESPONSES SHOULD INCLUDE PRICES AND TECHNICAL DATA SUFFICIENT TO DETERMINE CAPABILITY. No award will be based on any offer or proposal received in response to this notice. (See Note 22).
