The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, hereby gives notice of their intent to award a contract to INSIDE MORTGAGE of 7910 WOODMONT AVENUE, BETHESDA, MD 20814-7019 on a sole source basis utilizing FAR 13, Simplified Acquisition, procedures in accordance with 41 USC 253(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

OCC has a need for a subscription of 60 user seats to Inside Mortgage financial publication. This publication assists examiners and other OCC employees in the risk measurement and supervisory risk management of mortgage banking operations. This one-year task order will afford adequate time for the OCC to complete these services under a new award. Not to have this bridge task order could have a significant negative impact on the OCC’s mission to support federal banks and federal savings associations.

This is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider responses from all responsible sources received within two days after date of publication of this notice.  Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined in this notice. Any responses received will only be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in lieu of the sole source described in this notice, and such determination shall be made at the sole discretion of the OCC.
