This is a combined synopsis and solicitation prepared in accordance with the format in FAR part 12.– Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is N66604-26-Q-0353.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price purchase order to Reprints Desk, Inc. on a sole source basis. Reprints Desk, Inc. is the only document delivery service that powers the Article Galaxy, which provides Navy scientists and engineers with rapid, on-demand document delivery services for scientific articles, standards, and research publications that fall outside of the command's typical subscription packages.
