The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Administration has a requirement for a contractor to provide editing, proofreading, indexing, formatting, layout, and archiving support services for the NRC's Issuances and Indexes Publications program. In order to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements, the NRC must publish all issuances of the final orders, opinions, statements of policy, interpretations, staff manuals or instructions of the NRC's Commission, the NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards, Administrative Law Judges, Directors' Decisions, and NRC Decisions on Petitions for Rulemaking. Additionally, the NRC must produce and publish indexes to these issuances. See https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr0750/ for more information.

The purchase order will utilize the firm-fixed-price contract type, requirements type for services using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items in accordance with FAR Part 13.5. The contract will consist of a base period from October 01, 2019 through September 30, 2020, plus four one-year options to extend the term of the contract. For quotation preparation purposes, the quoter should assume an estimated award date of on or about September 13, 2019 and a postaward conference at the NRC in Rockville, Maryland within one week thereafter.
This requirement will use best value evaluation methodology.
The NRC uses Compusearch Software Systems' secure and auditable two-way web portal, FedConnect, to communicate with offerors and contractors. FedConnect provides bi-directional communication between the offeror/contractor and the NRC throughout the preaward, award and postaward phases. Therefore, in order submit a proposal, the offeror must register to use FedConnect at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/PUblicUserRegistration.aspx. Assistance with FedConnect is provided by Compusearch Software Systems, not the NRC. FedConnect contact and assistance information is provided at https://www.fedconnect.net.
The solicitation and any related amendments will be released only via FedConnect; therefore, potential offerors must register at https://www.fedconect.net to access the solicitation and amendments. The solicitation is anticipated to be posted on FedConnect on or about July 01, 2019. Offerors are encouraged to check FedConnect regularly for solicitation availability and amendments to it. In addition, proposals will only be considered if they are submitted via FedConnect.
By submission of a quotation, the quoter acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the System for Award Management database at www.sam.gov prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any resultant purchase order.
