About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service issued a Justification & Approval for a sole source acquisition of the Alma & Primo Library Services Platform (LSP) from Ex Libris USA Inc., a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service solution designed to manage all types of library materials including physical, electronic, and digital resources. The IRS justified the sole source award based on Ex Libris being the only vendor offering a FedRAMP-authorized Library Services Platform that meets statutory obligations under 26 U.S.C. 7803(b)(2) and Internal Revenue Manual requirements, as competing systems such as OCLC WorldShare, SirsiDynix Symphony, Koha, and Innovative Sierra either lack FedRAMP authorization or do not provide comparable integration and security capabilities. The contract was awarded on September 30, 2025, with an estimated annual cost of $334,573.13 for the base period running through September 29, 2026, followed by four one-year option periods extending through September 29, 2030. The procurement includes software licenses, browser requirements, application software technical support, and system maintenance services. Market research supporting the justification included an August 19, 2025 Request for Information via SAM.gov and analysis of government databases and similar awards to other federal agencies, with the Bureau Chief Information Officer approving the justification on September 29, 2025.
