The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC), Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office intends to acquire an Annual Copyright License for Academic Institutions for the National Defense University (NDU), Washington, DC. It is anticipated that during a twelve (12) month period there will be a need for approximately 1700 licenses to support NDU’s students. This product covers the reproduction and distribution of text-based copyrighted content in print and digital formats for educational and research purposes, by all faculty, librarians, research and administrative staff at NDU. It provides a “one-stop shopping� approach to securing reuse rights required to comply with U.S. Copyright Law. The license offers a blanket fee-for-use of publisher content instead of requiring NDU to secure rights to content on a case-by-case, transactional basis. If an article or book is available under the license, then it can be reused for campus teaching and learning purposes for the duration of the license. The contractor will prove the annual copyright license, customer support, and online training materials. FLC’s intent is to process this procurement on a sole source basis to Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), Danvers, MA. FLC’s intent is to issue a firm fixed price contract in accordance with FAR 12 (Commercial Items) and FAR 13 (Simplified Acquisition) procedures. The Period of Performance is from 01 June 2016 through 31 May 2017, plus four one-year option periods ending 31 May 2021, if all options are exercised.

Interested offerors may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a capability statement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
