THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE -THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD TO WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION FOR PUBLICATION SUPPORT SERVICES
The Department of Defense (DOD), Washington Headquarters Services, Acquisition Directorate, (WHS/AD) on behalf of the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (USCAAF) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed priced contract to West Publishing Corporation/West, A. Thomson Reuters Business, P.O. Box 64833, St. Paul, MN 55164-1803, to provide the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces the continuing subscriptions of 32 copyrighted print publications of various authors that are published and released during fiscal year 2022. The United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (USCAAF) requires online legal research database services. USCAAF requires access to comprehensive legal databases that provide current and historical information/analysis on a wide-range of subjects, including case law, statutory law, constitutional law, criminal law, evidence, criminal procedure, ethics, administrative law, and national security law.
The legal services subscription is only available thru West Publishing Corporation/West, A. Thomson Reuters Business. Westlaw has created a very comprehensive collection of databases that provide access to a wide range of legal resources, both primary and secondary sources and current and older materials. Access to these resources would ensure that the most relevant supporting evidence is used in writing the Court-s orders and opinions.
In addition to that, Thomson Reuters-West Publishing Corporation publications are copyrighted, and, therefore, are not available from other publishers. Authors of these requested publications have entered into agreements allowing this vendor/publisher the sole rights to publish their works.
As such this vendor has unique and proprietary legal databases and special editorial and navigation features that are not available elsewhere....
