This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, 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. The solicitation number for this requirement is 9531BM26Q0023. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01.

The NTSB also serves as the "court of appeals" for airmen, mechanics, or mariners whenever the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or United States Coast Guard (USCG) takes a certificate action. In support of this mission, the NTSB has a requirement for an online provider of scientific papers and standards in full text format that are not available for free on the internet. Likely, between 150 and 200 NTSB employees would need access to this tool. The NTSB has more than 400 employees.
