Serial subscription support

The Securities and Exchange Commission seeks serial subscription support for publications renewing in calendar year 2027 through a Total Small Business Request for Quotes, with quotes due November 19, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. Questions are due November 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. The Office of Acquisitions IT Support Branch provides administrative oversight, and the Office of the Chief Operating Officer receives delivery in Washington, DC 20549. The NAICS code is 513120 (Periodical Publishers), and the PSC is R605 (Support-Administrative: Library).

The contractor manages electronic serials, print serials, and electronic information products, including ordering, renewal processing, payment handling, claims management, and administrative support. The Statement of Work describes 18 electronic publications on the 2027 list, while the pricing spreadsheet lists 16 subscription services renewing between January 1, 2027 and August 1, 2027. User quantities range from single-user licenses to 60 users, and at least one subscription carries unlimited access. Orders must be placed within five business days of receiving SEC delivery lists, with rush orders placed within 24 hours. Claims for missing or defective issues and quantity changes or cancellations must be processed within three business days. The SEC must preapprove license agreements and terms of use at least 14 days before order placement. Vendors must advance pay regular subscriptions before the first invoice, and the contractor must provide administrative support for three months after subscription expiration. A designated account representative must respond to queries within two business days, and the contractor must provide a web-based serials management system for online claiming, analytical reporting, title verification, and bibliographic research. Vendors are instructed to contact Luke Garner of CCRcorp for CCR subscriptions, since the SEC qualified for vendor discounts on those products.

Offerors submit a technical quote limited to seven pages, including the cover page, and a pricing spreadsheet with firm fixed pricing for each subscription and a total price inclusive of all fees. The Government evaluates Technical Capability, Price, and Past Performance, and awards to the responsible offeror whose conforming offer is most advantageous to the Government. The source does not state weightings. Invoices must be submitted electronically through the SEC's Delphi eInvoicing system. The point of contact is Jeremy Garrett at 202-551-7472.
