About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Rock Island District, has issued a Sole Source Justification and Approval for a contract with Elsevier B.V. to provide online access to 37 specific scientific and technical journals. The proposed firm-fixed-price contract covers a base year from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with two additional option years extending through December 31, 2027. The total estimated contract value is $684,000, broken down as $217,000 for the base year, $228,000 for option year 1, and $239,000 for option year 2. Market research confirmed Elsevier B.V. as the sole provider of these journals since 2016, with two public notices of intent to sole source published on SAM.gov receiving no alternative responses. The justification emphasizes that these journals are essential for USACE professionals to access current reference materials in support of their critical public engineering services, thereby necessitating a direct award to Elsevier B.V.
