ILS Integration with EBSCO Discovery Service

The contract entails the implementation and ongoing maintenance of a seamless integration between the EOS.Web ILS and the EBSCO Discovery Service to enable synchronized search capabilities, authenticated user access, and accurate metadata exchange. This work is critical for ensuring that patrons of the United States International Trade Commission’s library can efficiently discover and access digital resources through a unified discovery interface, with backend systems continuously aligned to reflect catalog updates, user credentials, and content metadata. The integration must support reliable, scalable, and secure communication protocols between the two platforms to maintain data integrity and system performance. Awarded as a subcontract under NAICS code 541512, the work is tied to the U.S. International Trade Commission based in Washington, D.C., with a performance location at 20436. The opportunity was posted on July 7, 2026, and proposals are due by July 21, 2026. While specific details about the prime contractor or set-aside status are not provided, the requirement is clearly focused on technical execution and long-term system upkeep rather than procurement of hardware or software licenses. The successful vendor will be responsible for delivering a robust, low-latency interface that enhances user experience while ensuring compliance with institutional data governance and access protocols.
