About this opportunity
The National Library of Medicine published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on June 16, 2020 for a bridge award to procure continued access to Elsevier's ScienceDirect online platform from May 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. The Notice cites the urgent need to avoid disruption and provide continued access to over 2,500 peer-reviewed scientific and medical journal articles and 39,000 e-books for NIH researchers and the public to access essential COVID-19 information, as the Library requires Elsevier's proprietary database to fulfill its mandate. The sole source bridge award of approximately $427,730 was granted to an unknown vendor to allow continued access to the required ScienceDirect content for two months, as a pre-solicitation notice issued in October 2019 received no responses and market research found no alternative platforms containing the needed materials.
