Notice of Intent to Sole Source American Society of Civil Engineers e-Journals

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) intends to award a sole‑source contract to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for multi‑site electronic licenses covering the full suite of ASCE publications—journals, proceedings, e‑books, standards, and related magazines. The award will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 12. While a formal solicitation will not be issued, any responsible source may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for the government’s consideration in determining whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The requirement is identified under NAICS 513120 (Libraries and Archives) and the contract will provide ERDC with ongoing access to ASCE’s digital content. • Multi‑site licensing for all ASCE journal and publication collections (1983‑present). • Sole‑source acquisition using simplified procedures; no competitive bid required. • Potential for future competition if the government decides to open the requirement.
