- Notice Type: Special Notice: NAICS: 511120 Solicitation #: 163P1201684 Sole Source Authority: FAR 6.302-1 Reason for Sole Source: Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Anticipated Award Date: September 4, 2012 Synopsis: The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) intends to award a sole-source purchase order in the amount of $160,437.00 for Expert Opinion historical archives to Informa HealthCare, Inc., Sheepen PL, Colchester CO3, 3LP, Essex, GBR for one year in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 511120. This is not a solicitation nor will a solicitation be issued in regards to this announcement. Therefore, no RFQ will be issued as a result. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, USPTO has a continuing need to the historical archives provided by Informa Healthcare. Patent examining is historically known for its need of older prior art; therefore, access to back file(s) is critical to the patent examining process. Disruption in services would severely impact the work of the patent examiners. Informa HealthCare offers a unique service, which other vendors cannot replicate and is therefore the only source available that can provide the required service within the required timelines. Award Amount: $160,437.00 Period of Performance: September 4, 2012 through September 3, 2013 Primary Point of Contact: The point of contact for information regarding this sources sought request is Stacy Duncan at (571) 272-2796. Responses can be sent to the USPTO, Office of Procurement, via E-Mail referencing the Synopsis 163P1201684 to stacy.duncan@uspto.gov no later than (NLT) 5:00 P.M., Contracting Officer's local time, Alexandria, VA on Thursday, August 30, 2012.
