About this award
The National Science Foundation awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $945,638.46 to Elsevier Inc. for licenses and services related to the Elsevier Pure Platform, a research information management system. The contract, awarded on March 3, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 6, 2027, was procured on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), as NSF determined that Elsevier is the only reasonably available source capable of providing the specialized combination of platform licenses with existing NSF customizations. The contract deliverables include Pure Core and Pure Portal licenses (each supporting 14,999 profiles), Pure Cloud Hosting Dedicated services, Pure Profile Refinement Service (9,500 profiles), and Integration Delivery Services for both NSF standard data and patent data. The work will be performed in Alexandria, Virginia, and supports the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships Directorate's research information management operations.
This procurement includes no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the proprietary and specialized nature of Elsevier's information platform services. Elsevier Inc., a globally recognized provider of scientific, technical, and medical information resources, maintains an extensive federal contract portfolio across multiple civilian and defense agencies. The company operates two significant indefinite delivery vehicles—an $80 million contract with the Library of Congress through December 31, 2026, and a $19.3 million vehicle with the National Institutes of Health through 2025—both providing access to specialized research databases and platforms through the Federal Library and Information Network program and supporting numerous federal agencies with task orders.
