The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source purchase order firm-fixed price type to Journal of the National Medical Association 1012 10th Street NW Washington, DC 20001. This is an on-going informational study. The Journal of the National Medical Association serves as a preeminent resource for dissemination of results of clinical trials, and medical and public health education and research for racial and ethnic minority communities. The JNMA emphasizes the application of medical and public health science to improve the health care of underserved population. The journal also reports on various public health, psychosocial, education, prevention and public policy issues related to AIDS, and other infectious and chronic diseases. Articles published in Journal of the National Medical Association are cited in numerous indices and electronic literature databases. The sole source selection of this vendor (Journal of the National Medical Association) would optimally satisfy CDC’s requirements. This procurement will be processed under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other vendor will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract action is for services which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This procurement is not set-aside for small business.
