About this award
The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a definitive cost-sharing contract to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Office of Sponsored Research for library services at the EPA's Research Triangle Park facility in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The five-year contract, valued at $14.5 million with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025, was awarded on February 26, 2021, without a set-aside designation. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive library services including reference support, interlibrary loans, content acquisition and management, cataloging and classification, website and database support, and outreach and instruction programs, requiring personnel with a minimum Master's degree in Information or Library Science. UNC-Chapel Hill subcontracted library support services to Cox Subscriptions, Inc. (doing business as WT Cox Subscriptions), a Shallotte, North Carolina-based information services provider, with subcontract awards issued on April 13, 2021, February 2, 2022, January 4, 2023, October 1, 2024, and November 25, 2024, for ongoing periodicals, serials, and library support services.
This contract represents the EPA's continuation of library services operations at its Research Triangle Park campus, a significant research hub for the agency's scientific and environmental work. The cost-sharing arrangement reflects a collaborative funding model between the EPA and UNC-Chapel Hill, leveraging the university's research administration capabilities and library infrastructure to support EPA operations. Cox Subscriptions' role as the primary subcontractor demonstrates the specialized nature of subscription management and information resource curation required to maintain a comprehensive federal research library supporting the EPA's technical and scientific mission in environmental protection and research advancement.
