NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE The Department of Energy (DOE) intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price award to a single source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i)(ii), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements, Institute of Physics (IOP) Publishing. The incumbent contractor shall provide subscription renewal services to the DOE?s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). DOE intends to award this requirement as a sole source to the IOP. IOP is the sole publisher for the journals that are required by OSTI. The required list of journals are as follows: 2D Materials Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Applied Physics Express Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Letters, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, The Biofabrication Bioinspiration & Biomimetics Biomedical Materials Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics Chinese Physics B Chinese Physics C Chinese Physics Letters Classical and Quantum Gravity Communications in Theoretical Physics Computational Science and Discovery Distributed Systems Engineering Environmental Research Letters EPL (Europhysics Letters) European Journal of Physics Fluid Dynamics Research Inverse Problems IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering Izvestiya: Mathematics Japanese Journal of Applied Physics Journal of Breath Research Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics Journal of Geophysics and Engineering Journal of High Energy Physics Journal of Instrumentation Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering Journal of Neural Engineering Journal of Optics Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter Journal of Physics: Conference Series Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Journal of Physics C: Solid State Physics (see Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter) Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instrument (see Measurement Science and Technology) Journal of Physics F: Metal Physics (see Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter) Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics Journal of Radiological Protection Journal of Semiconductors Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment Laser Physics Laser Physics Letters Materials Research Express Measurement Science and Technology Methods and Applications in Fluorescence Metrologia Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering Nanotechnology New Journal of Physics Nonlinearity Nuclear Fusion Physica Scripta Physical Biology Physics Education Physics in Medicine and Biology Physics in Technology Physics-Uspekhi Physiological Measurement Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Plasma Science and Technology Plasma Sources Science and Technology Proceedings of the Physical Society Proceedings of the Physical Society of London Proceedings of the Physical Society.
