Pursuant to 13.106-1(b), the Federal Highway Administration intends to negotiate a sole source order to SourceMedia for four annual subscriptions to The Bond Buyer. The purpose of this order is to provide FHWA's Office of Innovative Program Delivery with knowledge of current bond markets and future trends. By subscribing to The Bond Buyer, FHWA will remain aware of new financing products, emerging markets, and changes to relevant laws. SourceMedia is the only source that can complete the proposed order, as they are the parent company and publisher of The Bond Buyer. The intent of this notice is not to request competitive proposals, and any information received from interested parties will only be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. However, interested parties may submit a description of their firm's capabilities for satisfying this requirement, which demonstrates they possess the ability to successfully perform this effort. The responses must be received by COB August 11, 2014. All questions concerning this matter should be addressed directly to Mr. Trevor Worthy at
