    Description

    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to establish a sole-source contract with Euromoney Global Limited for the acquisition of two annual datasets that provide critical insights into companies and facilities involved in the production of strategic materials worldwide. This procurement is essential for the DLA Strategic Materials to fulfill its responsibilities related to the National Defense Stockpile, as Euromoney is the only source with the necessary licensing agreements to access unique databases covering over 40 strategic materials and thousands of related companies. The estimated value of this contract is $306,150, and a "Notice of Intent to Sole Source" has been published on SAM.gov, which received no responses, confirming the absence of alternative sources. Interested parties can contact David Kim at david.kim@dla.mil or 703-223-1934 for further information.

    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking approval for a sole-source contract with Euromoney Global Limited to acquire two annual datasets. These datasets provide critical knowledge about companies and facilities involved in producing strategic materials globally, essential for DLA Strategic Materials' National Defense Stockpile responsibilities. The estimated value of this action is $306,150.00. The justification for not pursuing full and open competition is based on FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), as Euromoney Global Limited is identified as the only source with the necessary licensing agreements for extensive and unique databases covering over 40 strategic materials and thousands of related companies. A "Notice of Intent to Sole Source" was published on SAM.gov, which garnered no responses, confirming the lack of alternative sources. The DLA confirmed the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and they will continue market research for future acquisitions to identify potential alternative sources.
