About this opportunity
NASA has awarded contract 80TECH26P0010 to Ex Libris USA Inc. on a sole-source basis for renewal of the Alma Library Management System, a firm-fixed price purchase order for annual subscriptions to the Library Services Platform (LSP), Alma/Alma Digital, Primo VE, Rapido, and Digital Storage for NASA Headquarters.
NASA justifies the sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1, citing Ex Libris as the exclusive provider of the Alma and Primo VE platforms. These proprietary, cloud-hosted products deliver the integrated library management, discovery, and access tools required for enterprise-level library operations, and no alternative vendor can supply equivalent functionality. Ex Libris solutions carry FedRAMP Authorization (Tailored LI-SaaS). NASA published a notice of intent on SAM.gov on February 6, 2026, which closed on February 21, 2026 with no competing firms expressing interest.
The contract includes a one-year base period from the date of award through November 30, 2026, and four one-year option periods extending through November 30, 2030. Place of performance is NASA Headquarters. The contracting officer will conduct a proposal analysis using historical prices, commercial list price, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate to determine fair and reasonable pricing. The independent government cost estimate value is redacted.
