About this award

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1) Knowledge Information Library System has awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Elsevier Inc. for a base year subscription to Embase, a biomedical and pharmacological online journal database, with a ceiling value of $129,161.18. The award, issued on March 30, 2026, covers the period from March 30, 2026 through March 29, 2027, with three one-year option periods extending through March 29, 2030. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract, reflecting the proprietary nature of Elsevier's specialized information resources. The subscription will provide VISN 1, which serves the New England region including Boston, Massachusetts, with access to peer-reviewed clinical and pharmacological literature essential for supporting healthcare delivery, clinical decision-making, and medical training across VA medical facilities.

This award builds on Elsevier's extensive federal contracting history as a leading provider of scientific, technical, and medical information services. The company maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles, including an $80 million contract with the Library of Congress through the Federal Library and Information Network program that delivers Embase and other specialized databases to multiple federal agencies. As part of that umbrella arrangement and through direct awards, Elsevier provides comprehensive access to ScienceDirect journals, Scopus citation databases, and specialized clinical tools across federal health agencies, the Department of Defense, and civilian research institutions, supporting the VA's mission to deliver evidence-based care to the veteran population.
