Background
To fulfill its mission, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) requires access to specialized scientific journals and databases to stay current with emerging research and developments. Quorum is a leading platform for federal bill tracking, social media tracking, and a legislative engagement platform.

Unmatched Coverage and Functionality: No other platform offers the same level of coverage for federal legislation, social media activity, and legislative engagement, nor the same ease of use and operational efficiency.
Due to the proprietary nature of Quorum’s platform and the absence of comparable alternatives, Quorum is the only vendor capable of providing the required resources. This sole source acquisition is necessary to ensure DHS S&T staff have immediate and comprehensive access to real-time government data and legislative activity, supporting mission-critical objectives through enhanced operational effectiveness and evidence-based decision-making
Period of Performance: The anticipated period of performance is a 12-month base year and (4) 12-month option years.
