About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Springer Nature for Open Access Book Processing Charges associated with the publication "Fire and Invasive Plants: Science and Management in Wildlands of the United States" (Springer Edition ID 487510, Order Number 89198520), with responses due by August 25, 2026.
The acquisition is restricted to one source in accordance with FAR 12.102(a). Springer Nature controls the final electronic formats and electronic access through its internet portal; the requirement can be performed only by Springer Nature or a source expressly authorized by Springer Nature to establish Open Access status for this specific edition. Any respondent other than Springer Nature must provide documentation demonstrating express authorization by Springer Nature; responses demonstrating only general publishing, open-access hosting, editing, or distribution capabilities will not satisfy the requirement.
The estimated award value is $16,000.00 on a firm-fixed-price basis. Completion is due September 30, 2026. The requirement stems from a previously executed Publishing Agreement between USGS and Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
