About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research has awarded a sole source contract (N0017326P2405) to IOP Publishing Limited for access to their digital journal subscription platform, effective February 9, 2026. The contract provides the Naval Research Laboratory with licensed access to IOP's online journals and content management services that enable the scientific research community to register, validate, disseminate, and preserve research materials. The total contract value is $1,201,409 and covers a four-year period consisting of a base year (FY26) plus three option years (FY27-FY29), with fully-funded 12-month subscription periods allocated for each year. The sole source justification is based on IOP's exclusive ownership of the copyright and intellectual property rights to the required journal content, and a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov from September 2-16, 2025 resulted in no competing responses, confirming IOP as the only viable source for these services.
