The National Library of Medicine (NLM) awarded a firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Ex Libris USA Inc., doing business as Ex Libris, for a cloud-based Library Services Platform (LSP) and Discovery System (DS) to support the NLM's bibliographic and holdings data management, electronic resource management, and user access to biomedical information. The contract, valued at $2,852,329.91, has a base period of 12 months and four 12-month option periods. The solution must be FedRAMP-compliant, configurable, and expandable, providing unified management of all library resources, extensive APIs, user and staff interfaces, acquisitions workflows, metadata management, fulfillment, resource sharing, reporting and analytics, and integration with NLM's existing systems. The contract was not set aside for any specific business type, and Ex Libris, a global technology company specializing in cloud-based library management solutions, was selected as the sole source provider of the Alma/Primo VE platform, which currently supports the NLM's library services.
