Subscription Services for the National Library of Medicine

The Government seeks to award an Indefinite Delivery‑Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for information‑communication‑technology (ICT) services and related deliverables. The award will be based on sealed offers that include a commercial‑products/services price schedule, a detailed technical proposal, and a business proposal. Offerors must submit a work plan that addresses the Statement of Work, demonstrate understanding of the requirements, corporate capability, qualified personnel, and past performance, and provide resumes, transcripts, and letters of commitment as technical appendices. All ICT services must conform to Section 508 accessibility standards; any non‑conformance identified after award will require contractor‑funded remediation. Task orders will be issued via email with specific statements of work, deliverable schedules, and any additional special conditions (e.g., HSPD‑12, human subjects). Rates for labor categories, including any added during performance, will be evaluated for reasonableness at the task‑order level, and the Government reserves the right to negotiate pricing under FAR 15.4. The contract also requires functional capabilities for managing shipments and subscriptions, including the ability to add renewal notes, submit and track questions, search by title/ISSN/customer order/vendor reference, and generate electronic deliverables such as EDI invoices, Excel‑compatible reports, and shipment data reviews. All invoices, shipment notices, and reports must reference the NLM Purchase Order line number. Offerors must reference applicable FAR and HHSAR provisions (e.g., FAR 52.212‑1, FAR 52.216‑1, HHSAR 352.239‑78) and complete the required representations, certifications, and evaluation factor checklists.
