handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaueq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Information Ventures, Inc. File: B-299422; B-299422.2 Date: May 1, 2007 Bruce H. Kleinstein for the protester. Doris Gibson, Department of Health and Human Services, and Michael D. Tully, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agencies. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that services involving environmental consulting in maintaining and enhancing the Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System database were included in, and could be obtained from vendors holding contracts under, a Federal Supply Schedule Special Item Number for environmental planning services and documentation. DECISION Information Ventures, Inc. protests the acquisition by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine (NLM), of the maintenance and enhancement of the Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS) database from the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). Information Ventures argues that the determination to purchase from the FSS was improper because the required services and subject matter do not fall within the scope of the selected FSS Special Item Number (SIN) 899-1--Environmental Planning Services and Documentation. We deny the protests. The CCRIS is an online, scientifically evaluated and fully referenced, environmental database originally created by the National Cancer Institute. In 1985, CCRIS was mounted on the NLM Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET) system, and the database was maintained using TOXNET data input software. The database contains data and the results of research studies for over 9,000 environmental chemical compounds
