The U.S. Air Force Academy has awarded a $525,600 firm fixed price contract to the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (CARL), a non-profit consortium of libraries, to provide membership and database access services to the Academy's McDermott Library. The contract, which runs from September 2023 through September 2025, will allow the library to access resources such as the Prospector database consortium, the Elsevier ScienceDirect Freedom Collection, and the UPSO eBook program through CARL's consortium services. This contract is a sole source award, as CARL is the only organization that can offer the strategic partnership and distributed print repository access required by the Academy. No subcontractors or set-aside designations were identified in the contract.
