Place of performance is Maxwell AFB, Alabama 36112, with shipments to AUL locations at Maxwell AFB and AUL-Gunter in Montgomery, Alabama. The Attachment 2 title list specifies 131 subscriptions. The contractor must provide serial subscription management for print and electronic journals, including ordering, renewals, fiscal agent services with publishers, prepayments, and refunds. Claiming requires EDI capability using S/FTP, full integration with the Alma library services platform, and a secure web-based claims portal with email backup. The contractor must also maintain a web-based serials management system, deliver Excel reports (Initial Title List, Financial Summary, and Renewal Lists), and provide named representatives responsive within three business days. The contractor must accommodate up to 25 annual title additions, changes, or deletions, and renewal lists are due by August for upcoming option years.
The contract is firm-fixed-price, with a base year from November 18, 2026 through November 17, 2027 and four option years of equal duration. Pricing is required for all five contract line item numbers (CLINs 0001 through 4001), with unit and extended prices rounded to whole dollars. Evaluation is Acceptable/Unacceptable for both technical approach and price, weighted equally. The technical approach must satisfy Statement of Requirements sections 2.1 and 2.2 without exceptions.
