About this opportunity

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a Sole Source Justification Notice for an IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) upgrade contract, awarded under FAR 13.501(a)(iii). The contract, numbered 273FCC25P0013, provides the FCC with unlimited desktop access to over 6,300,000 IEEE technical articles and active standards dating back to 1884. After conducting market research and posting a pre-solicitation notice on SAM.gov, the FCC determined that IEEE is the sole provider of essential technical content and industry standards critical to their regulatory work, with alternative sources from McGraw Hill and the Association for Computing Machinery deemed insufficient. The contract includes a base period from December 15, 2024, through December 31, 2025, with four additional one-year option periods potentially extending the agreement through December 31, 2029. No specific award amount was disclosed in the justification documentation, and no other vendors submitted capability statements during the pre-solicitation period, further supporting the sole source determination for this procurement.
