Intent to Sole Source Swift-Active Screener Licenses Renewal

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis with Sciome LLC for non-personal services for Swift-Active Screener licenses. The sole source determination is based on NOAA's requirement that Sciome LLC is the only vendor that manufactures and distributes this Swift-Active Screener license. The period of performance is from August 17, 2026, to August 16, 2030, with three option years. The key aspects of this opportunity include: • The Swift-Active Screener license is the only article screening application that uses a statistical analysis algorithm to inform screeners when they have met a specific percentage of relevant papers. • The license allows screeners to know when to stop searching/screening, saving staff time and making the process more efficient. • The NOAA library uses this capability to process more requests and better support the NOAA research mission. • Firms that believe they can fully meet the government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation or a request for additional information in writing to the identified point of contact within 15 days after publication of this pre-solicitation notice.
