About this opportunity
Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis is soliciting sources for a commercial off-the-shelf Software as a Service library authentication and electronic resource proxy subscription, with responses due October 30, 2026. The solution must natively integrate with Ex Libris Alma / Primo VE and support one enterprise Program Office instance and eighteen individual library instances across the Continental United States.
The Government seeks capability information, business size standard under NAICS 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), and past performance. Pricing is optional. No set-aside is anticipated.
Technical requirements include cloud-hosted, software-agnostic architecture with no installed software; Single Sign-On capability using Ex Libris Alma as primary Identity Provider with SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect support; attribute-based authorization; proxy and IP authentication for both federated and non-federated resources; centralized web-based administrative management; usage statistics and reporting; and support for authentication from multiple entry points including Primo VE discovery, Google Scholar, courseware, and student management systems. The solution must comply with DoD, Army, and federal cybersecurity requirements and Section 508 accessibility standards.
Performance spans a 45-day implementation period (March 1 through April 14, 2027) with minimal-downtime cutover, followed by a 12-month base period and six optional 12-month renewal periods extending through April 14, 2034. Implementation deliverables include a detailed plan, User Acceptance Testing with at least three libraries, virtual administrator training, and a documented rollback plan restoring prior services within two hours if critical defects occur. Post-implementation support includes technical help desk services, comprehensive documentation, and a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan upon request.
