- The VAPHS intends to award, on a sole source basis, a purchase order to Teton Data Systems, Jackson, WY for a renewal subscription of twenty titles to StatlRef Online Library. The subscription consists of seven concurrent users for eleven titles, and five concurrent users for the remaining nine. The authority for this sole source procurement is FAR 13.106-1. Teton Data Systems is the only electronic vendor with the rights to distribute its unique combination of resources contained in the STAT!Ref library. Furthermore, STAT!Ref owns proprietary search and retrieval technology, Teton Servertm, not found in any other online or electronic medical library software. It allows the end user to search individual texts, subsets or the entire library using one search interface. Additionally, the software uses Teton Data Systems' proprietary SmartMatchtm algorithm to display ranked results, which is only available in STAT!Ref products. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. The performance period is September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. Firms that believe they can provide the services are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer within 15 days of the publication date of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquires may be sent to Mark Anderson by e-mail at Mark.Anderson7@va.gov.
