Description

As published on SAM.gov.

PTAG Part 6.1.1 Synopsis – Non-Competitive FORM USPTO-OP-108.v2.0 The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has a requirement for access to the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) collection of patent and non-patent literature (NPL) information available on multi-platforms including the Scientific and Technical Network (STN) and SciFinder.

The USPTO intends to negotiate and award a contract for subscriptions to SciFinder and STNext, NAICS 519190, "All Other Information Services" to American Chemical Society DBA Chemical Abstract Service for a period of ~5 years, with an estimated value of $110,602,445.00. The anticipated award date is August 13, 2025. The USPTO publicized this requirement on May 14, 2024, through a Request for Information on SAM.Gov, and the results indicate that American Chemical Society is the only known qualified source.

As a result of the USPTO’s exemption from the Competition in Contracting Act, the subject requirement is being procured using the Alternate Competition Method in accordance with the Patent and Trademark Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG) and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act, 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
