Intent to Sole Source Award to CCH Inc

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is publicizing this action in accordance with FAR 13.105, synopsis and posting requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; a solicitation package will not be issued. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, the FTC intends to award a one-year (12-month), firm fixed price contract to CCH Incorporated to provide subscription and data services to CCH Trade Regulation Reporter (TRR). The Anticompetitive Practices Division of FTC's Bureau of Competition requires access to Trade Regulation Reporter. The TRR provides continuously updated data regarding mergers, monopolies, antitrust laws, trade regulations, FTC decisions, federal and state laws, dockets, rules and guides, and case summaries. Access to this data is vital for the FTC staff in performing the oversight and investigatory responsibilities of the Agency as it relates to antitrust and trade regulation matters. It is not the only source of this information for which solicitations may be posted here in the future.
