About this IDV
Questel-Orbit, Incorporated, a foreign-owned for-profit entity, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Library of Congress under its FEDLINK (Federal Library and Information Network) program on January 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $6,000,000 and a performance period extending through December 31, 2026. The contract procures electronic resources services and electronic resources subscriptions to support federal agencies' information access needs across the federal government. The original solicitation, posted on March 24, 2023 with a final deadline of May 15, 2023, sought multiple indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts structured around four lots: Lot 1 for electronic resources and databases, Lot 2 for document delivery services, Lot 3 for associated publications, and Lot 4 for specialized access and product integration. The solicitation established a firm fixed-price ordering mechanism with individual task orders not to exceed defined contract maximums, with pricing proposed for a base year plus four one-year option periods from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028.
Questel-Orbit's contract performance leverages the company's expertise in patent intelligence and advanced research tools, as evidenced by a related firm fixed-price delivery order awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 1, 2025, valued at $1,095,894 for a subscription to Orbit Intelligence with research disclosure services through July 31, 2030. The FEDLINK contract represents part of Questel-Orbit's broader portfolio of federal contract vehicles with the Library of Congress, which includes an additional $2,000,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract. Neither the Library of Congress contract nor related task orders employed set-aside designations, and the Library of Congress contract is administered from Washington, DC 20540, with Questel-Orbit maintaining performance capabilities from its Alexandria, Virginia location.
