THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT, NOT AN RFQ. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) intends to award a sole source, fixed-price, purchase order for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1 to ChemAxon LLC, in order to procure the renewal of EPA¿s Instant JChem Network Service Plan. This is a scientific data modeling/analysis tools for end-users (scientists). The service Plan includes one (1) year of software updates, upgrades and technical support. The vendor does not allow resellers access to their software licenses, and therefore for this reason EPA believes ChemAxon LLC, is the only source that can provide the required annual service support for Instant JChem. NO SOLICITATION FOR QUOTES IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROCUREMENT. A determination not to compete the purchase order based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.
