Justification for Sole Source
The award to InfoPro Digital LLC is justified under FAR 5.703(b)(3) because InfoPro Digital Inc. is the sole-source vendor for Risk.net and Waters Technology products. The company developed and owns the proprietary platforms and work efforts for these essential publications, possessing unique technical aspects and resources. A prior intent to sole source was posted on SAM.gov, and no competitive responses were received, confirming the lack of available resellers or alternative sources.
Relevance to Bidders
This notice serves as a justification for a non-competitive award. It indicates the government's intent to procure specific proprietary financial market data from InfoPro Digital, Inc. due to its unique ownership and lack of competitive alternatives. Potential bidders should review the detailed justification to understand the specific rationale for this sole-source decision.
