About this opportunity

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Acquisition Management intends to award a sole-source contract to Elsevier for a Reaxys Database Subscription. The EPA is seeking access to Elsevier's comprehensive chemical database, which contains extensive chemical structures, reactions, properties, and related literature and patents. This database subscription is designed to support researchers in discovering, analyzing, and synthesizing chemical compounds, making it particularly valuable for chemists, medicinal chemists, and professionals in related scientific fields. The agency has determined that Elsevier's unique access to this vast collection of chemical information justifies the sole-source procurement approach. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 17, 2025, with a due date of July 24, 2025, providing interested parties with a seven-day window to respond.

This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations, reflecting the EPA's intention to award directly to Elsevier as the sole source provider. The contract falls under NAICS code 513120 for Periodical Publishers and PSC code DH10 for IT and Telecom Platform as a Service covering database, mainframe, and middleware services. No incumbent contractor information, specific award values, or budget ranges are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The contract appears to be for ongoing database subscription services, though specific timeline details for the service period are not provided in the available documentation. The notice serves as an advance notification of the EPA's procurement intentions rather than a competitive solicitation.
