This digital collection contains unique primary source documents from The National Archives, London, covering military conflicts in China from the early nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries and provides a British perspective on this crucial period of global history. The collection will support curriculum design and research for the China Center, the China Integrated Course, and other integrated research projects on China for the U.S. Army War College, including topics related to international relations. This is designated as a sources sought notice only, meaning it is not yet a formal solicitation but rather a market research effort to identify potential vendors.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified vendors. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this specific collection. No award values, budget ranges, or cost estimates are provided in the sources sought notice. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and PSC code 7630 for Newspapers and Periodicals, reflecting the digital nature of the academic content being acquired. The collection represents a one-time purchase for perpetual access rather than an ongoing service contract, and no specific performance timeline beyond the access requirement is mentioned in the notice.
