The U.S. Marine Corps awarded a purchase order to Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. for an Annual Copyright Clearance Center License with a ceiling value of $27.6K. The contract, which carries a firm fixed-price structure and no set-aside designation, was awarded on August 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 19, 2026. Performance will take place at Marine Corps installations in Quantico, Virginia. This award appears to stem from market research conducted by the Marine Corps in June 2025 regarding collective licensing services for copyrighted materials to support Marine Corps University Library, enabling students, faculty, and staff to legally access, use, and distribute copyrighted materials for academic purposes.
Copyright Clearance Center, Inc., a Massachusetts-based non-profit specializing in intellectual property licensing and copyright permissions, brings established expertise in serving federal agencies across the Department of Defense. The company maintains multiple indefinite delivery vehicles with military branches, including a $195.1K Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Air Force through June 30, 2029, and previously held a $500K Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Training and Doctrine Command. This Marine Corps award represents a continuation of the company's consistent delivery of copyright licensing solutions supporting military education, training, and research missions across federal procurement landscapes.
