NAICS 513120 (Periodical Publishers) encompasses organizations that publish, print, and distribute periodicals such as journals, magazines, and newsletters in print or electronic formats. These publications cover a wide range of disciplines including scientific, medical, technical, academic, professional, and trade-specific content. The publishers may produce content for institutional, academic, research, government, and commercial subscribers, with both domestic and international distribution. Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate robust activity across multiple government agencies, particularly in research, healthcare, and scientific domains. Most awards range from $10,000 to $2.8 million, typically with base periods of one year and up to four option years. Frequent awardees include Elsevier, ProQuest, EBSCO, Ovid Technologies, and specialized academic publishers like the American Physical Society. Funding agencies include the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy. Awards frequently utilize small business set-asides, particularly for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and commonly support library and research information access. Recent federal contract opportunities focus on procuring online journal subscriptions, digital research databases, and electronic publication access for government libraries and research institutions. Solicitations primarily target scientific, medical, and technical journals from publishers like Wiley, Elsevier, and SAGE. Agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers, Air Force Research Laboratory, and various VA medical centers are seeking comprehensive digital journal collections. Most opportunities are set aside for small businesses, with performance locations spanning military installations, research centers, and federal agency headquarters across the United States. Typical requirements include remote access capabilities, usage reporting, and comprehensive coverage of specific academic and professional domains.
