- Description
- The US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA) in support of the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL), intends to negotiate a sole source acquisition for EndNote X7 Multi-User Perpetual License by Thomson Reuters. The requirement is for EndNote Licenses for their current system and the remaining additional 10 licenses for a secondary network currently located at Fort Rucker AL. The Government requires 35 Thomas Reuters EndNote Licenses for their current system and the remaining additional 10 licenses for a secondary network. These license groupings must be separated when competed due to the nature of the separated networks. The software has the following characteristics: Citation, Reference, and Bibliography Database Software, Army certificate of net worthiness, able to search multiple online resources to collect references and PDFs, capable to import PDFs on the user's computer, able to synchronize references and share groups across desktop and online sources, able to select a reference, and the software will find the full text, able to find and fill in missing information, has advanced and multi-phrase search of all fields in reference and in full text documents, able to create group share environment, able to import user's references, able to change styles of reference easily and uniformly, able to format references that have 5000+ formats pre-loaded to choose from, able to create custom reference formats, online backup of user's references that are accessible anywhere and will contain at least 5 GB of storage, training and support at no cost, licenses will be fully transferable among users. EndNote is the only software of this type that Government has found with an approved Army Certificate of Networthiness (CoN). This is one of the Government requirements stated in the Minimum Essential Characterics. The CoN approval process is cumbersome and lengthy. The Government needs a license they can use now as thier previous reference software (ProCite) has been removed from the system and can no longer be used on USAARL system A RFQ W81XWH-15-T-0318 will be issued for Sole Source. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 519130 and the size standard is 500. All sources that believe they are eligible to provide these items must respond in writing or respond to the RFQ. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly articulate the ability to provide the items outlined above. A request for documentation will not be considered an affirmative response. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. If no written responses are received by the date listed below, which reflects four (4) days after the publication of this notice, the purchase will be awarded without further remark. All questions and responses concerning this notice shall be emailed to Ms. Kimberly Hannan at kimberly.s.hannan.civ@mail.mil. Interested concerns must identify their capability in writing to the above e-mail address no later than 10:00 AM ET, August 27, 2015.
