Annual Subscription Renewal to Westlaw Enflex regulatory database
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineering Research and Development Center - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) in Champaign, IL has a requirement to procure an Annual Subscription Renewal for the Enflex Regulatory database, enhanced version.
ERDC-CERL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to West Publishing Corporation in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
Market research has indicated that West Publishing Corporation is the only source capable of meeting the Government's requirements for this commercial item. West Publishing Corporation is the sole provider of access to the Enflex environmental regulatory database. ERDC-CERL has used Enflex for regulatory research for over 25 years; our updating process is closely interwoven with the way the Enflex updates the state environmental regulations. Enflex itself is based on the CELDS database developed by CERL through the U of I, and operates in a fashion based on how CERL does regulatory updates. We have looked for alternative sources of regulatory updates over the years, but have yet to find a suitable substitute.
This is not a small business set aside.
