Solicitation number 36C24126P0341, awarded on March 30, 2026, has a base value of $30,873.02 and follows a B+3 option year structure, allowing for up to three additional option years. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 and is justified as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR 13.106-1 because Elsevier Inc. is the proprietary owner and exclusive licensor of the database, making it unavailable through other resellers or small business distributors. The scope of work involves providing uninterrupted electronic access to over 32 million records, including 6 million exclusive datasets and 8,500 journals, to support evidence-based research, drug safety monitoring, and systematic reviews across VISN 1 facilities. The selection of Embase was based on a best-value trade-off analysis, highlighting its superior usability, high recall rate of 85.9% for systematic reviews, and advanced search capabilities using the Emtree thesaurus. As a digital subscription service, there are no physical packaging or marking requirements, and performance is delivered electronically with the official place of performance listed as TOGUS, ME.
