Intent to Modify an Existing Contract On Sole Source Basis

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) intends to modify its existing contract with West Publishing Corporation (Thomson Reuters) to add the use of its CLEAR services on a sole source basis for the remainder of this year and the subsequent option year (through September 30, 2011). The service provides a web-based interface to real-time data to billions of publicly available and proprietary records for government and law enforcement investigators. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes, and no solicitation documents are available. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, which is solely at the discretion of the OCC. Any written response should include full costing information, as well as descriptive literature containing sufficient technical documentation to establish a bona fide capacity to meet the requirement.
