About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Defense Education Activity awarded a $1.416M firm fixed-price purchase order to Newsbank Inc. (doing business as Readex) on September 30, 2025, for a military news and information subscription service. The contract, which runs through September 29, 2028, will provide Department of Defense Libraries with web-based access to current and archived military, government, and defense news from over 40 key sources including Air Force Times, Army Times, Navy Times, and Marine Corps Times. The service will serve active duty, reserve, and retired military personnel and their dependents worldwide, delivering content spanning military, government, and defense news, issues, strategies, careers, benefits, and training. The contract includes industry-standard security requirements such as Transport Layer Security 1.3 and HTTP Strict Transport Security, along with the capability to generate usage statistics by military branch.

The award resulted from an Air Force market research and sources sought notice posted in July 2025, which sought suppliers capable of meeting 15 detailed product characteristics and technical specifications for comprehensive military news access. Newsbank, a veteran-owned, Naples, Florida-based company specializing in digital news archives and research databases, was selected through firm fixed-price procurement with no small business set-aside designation. The performance location is San Antonio, Texas. This contract aligns with the Air Force's original three-year procurement structure, which included a base year with two one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2028.
