About this opportunity
The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), a division of the Department of Energy, is seeking to procure a comprehensive legal database service for online digital research. The solicitation requires a digital platform that provides keyword and subject searchable access to U.S. federal and state law, international law, government documents, legal cases, and related materials in PDF format. Proposals will be evaluated in order of importance: Technical Approach (most important), Past Performance (second), and Price (least important). Vendors must submit a technical approach, past performance documentation, and a detailed pricing worksheet, with email attachments limited to 10MB. The proposal deadline is March 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with proposals to be submitted via email to kyle.pickett@hq.doe.gov.
The contract has no specific set-aside designation and is currently held by WestLaw (Thompson Reuters) under a previous award. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price purchase order with a base year from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, and four additional single-year option years potentially available. The solicitation anticipates supporting six users with the legal database services, to be performed remotely with the primary place of performance in Washington, DC. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the pricing worksheet allows vendors to input detailed cost information for monthly and annual services. The government reserves the right to order additional licenses and database tools at the same competitive pricing, providing flexibility in future procurement needs.
