CSIRO Publishing subscription package
Solicitation # 1232SA26Q1528
Solicitation 1232SA26Q1528 is a combined synopsis and request for quotation issued by the USDA Agricultural Research Service for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide perpetual electronic access to scientific journals published by CSIRO Publishing. The requirement includes full access to eight specified journals for all USDA and public on-site users, a Read and Publish workflow allowing unlimited open-access publishing for USDA authors with zero individual APC fees, and the delivery of monthly COUNTER-compliant usage statistics. The contract structure consists of a one-year base period from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2027, with four subsequent one-year option periods. This is an unrestricted acquisition under NAICS code 513120 and is not set aside for small businesses. While the solicitation is open to all responsible sources, a separate decision document justifies a sole-source award based on CSIRO Publishing being the sole copyright holder and only vendor capable of providing the required unembargoed and perpetual access. Award will be based on best value, with technical capabilities rated as acceptable or unacceptable based on the offeror's ability to meet specific deployment schedules and reporting requirements. Quotations must be submitted to Richard Hawthorne by September 28, 2026, and must include all-inclusive pricing for the base and option years.
