About this IDV

This federal contract indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to West Publishing Corporation, a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters. The contract, which has a ceiling value of $5,778,049.00 and a period of performance through January 28, 2028, is for the provision of online legal research (OLR) and media services to various HUD offices, including the Office of General Counsel, Office of the Secretary, Office of Community Planning and Development, and Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control.

The contract was awarded on a single-award basis without any set-aside designations, indicating that West Publishing Corporation, an experienced provider of legal research platforms, investigative tools, and specialized publications to federal agencies, competed effectively in the open federal procurement process. The contract vehicle allows HUD to issue task orders for OLR and related subscription services, building upon West Publishing Corporation's existing federal contract vehicles, such as a $690 million FEDLINK (Federal Library and Information Network) indefinite delivery contract with the Library of Congress and other BPAs focused on online legal research subscriptions.
