- Description
- The GSA, Integrated Acquisition Environment Office, intends to award a sole source contract to Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) of Arlington VA, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The Federal Government, GSA, and Integrated Acquisition Environment have a regulatory mandate to identify and report on corporate relationships and linkages using the DUNS Number as the Contractor Identification Number for Federal Contractors, as set forth in FAR 4.605(b). D&B is the only source that can provide the required identification and reporting services. The DUNS number is proprietary to and controlled by D&B and there is no other source for this information. D&B grants customers a non-exclusive, perpetual, limited license to use the DUNS solely for identification purposes and only for customer's internal business use. The FAR requires the DUNS prior Business Name, Business Address, and Business and Parental linkage through the D&B proprietary integration process, which is licensed to the Government. No other authoritative sources of corporate enterprises exist today to provide this product and services which are uniquely available from the D&B world base files. The logic, corporate research, and corporate business linkage maintenance are all critical services not licensed by D&B to third parties. The Government is fully leveraging this proprietary commercial product services uniquely offered by D&B to enhance data standards, quality, and reliability in such critical areas as contract award and management (back office Contract Writing Systems), advertising and delivery of solicitation data and specifications data (Federal Business Opportunities and Federal Technical Documentation System), management and public reports (Federal Procurement Data System, Federal Funding and Accountability Transparency Act, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery.gov and Federalreporting.gov) and USAspending.gov), debarred and suspended bidders (Excluded Parties List System), vendor submissions of subcontracting accomplishments (Electronic Subcontract Reporting System), past performance collection (Past Performance Information Retrieval System), for payment and invoicing (back office Financial Writing Systems and the Grants Community (Grants.Gov) and the Loans Community because the research has shown that D&B is uniquely positioned as the sole source to provide this capability. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations and no solicitation is currently available; however, interested parties may submit their interest and capability by responding to this notice via e-mail to danny.garo@gsa. gov by 11 A.M. EST, 7 May 2010. GSA will not compensate interested parties on their submittals. A determination by the Government not to compete the requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government reserves the right to cancel the Sole Source award. The cancellation notice will be posted on Fbo.gov. For specific questions, please contact Danny Garo, Contracting Officer, at danny.garo@gsa.gov.
