About this IDV
Ebsco Information Services, LLC, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Division of Administrative Services valued at $5.4 million with an ultimate completion date of January 30, 2031. The contract, awarded on January 31, 2025, procures library subscription services supporting federal research and education programs. No small business set-aside was applied to this vehicle.

Three task orders have been issued under this BPA representing cumulative obligations of approximately $1.858 million.

Order #3, the most recent task order valued at $792,778.50 and awarded January 30, 2026, covers library journals and periodicals with a completion date of January 31, 2027. All orders are firm fixed-price contracts with no set-aside designations, and all work is performed at Ebsco's Birmingham, Alabama facility. These task orders reflect the Division of Administrative Services' utilization of the BPA to sustain ongoing access to critical academic and scientific research resources essential to federal research and educational operations.
