About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Springer Nature Customer Service Center LLC, a foreign-owned academic publishing division, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $16.3 million by the National Institutes of Health's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, a civilian federal agency. The contract, which commenced on January 1, 2021, and extends through December 31, 2025, was awarded on a full and open competitive basis with no small business set-aside designation. The primary scope encompasses providing NIH with comprehensive access to Springer Nature's portfolio of scientific, technical, and medical online resources, including journal subscriptions, electronic books, database access, and research manuscript publication services. All services are performed at the contractor's facility in Bowling Green, New York.

The contract has generated multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling approximately $3.8 million across the performance period, reflecting ongoing utilization of the IDV mechanism to procure incremental access to scientific content. Documented delivery orders include a $1.5 million task order for journal access, a $753,874 base period contract for online resource access, a $420,000 order for 30,000 additional content downloads, a $280,000 delivery for Springer Nature online resource access, and a $280,000 order for content-on-demand tokens, with completion dates extending through 2026. This IDV structure enables the NIH to efficiently procure specialized scientific publishing resources through firm fixed-price delivery orders rather than conducting separate competitive procurements, facilitating the agency's biomedical and health-related research programs while maintaining access to world-class scientific and technical information resources essential for federal research initiatives.
