About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service National Agricultural Library intends to procure immediate and continuous authenticated electronic access to Springer Nature e-books under a sole-source award anticipated for September 30, 2026. The requirement covers the Springer Nature "Access & Select" BASIC plan with perpetual access rights to two collections: the Biomedical and Life Sciences collection (703 titles) and the Earth and Environmental Sciences collection (560 titles). Springer Nature is the sole copyright holder and the only vendor capable of guaranteeing unembargoed, perpetual access rights to this content. The perpetual access provision aligns with the National Agricultural Library's mandate to preserve the nation's agricultural literature and ensures USDA users and public on-site users retain indefinite access to purchased materials rather than losing access upon subscription term expiration. Place of performance is not specified in the pre-solicitation notice. All offerors must register in SAM.gov to be eligible for award. The product service code is 7610 (Books and Pamphlets) and the NAICS code is 513130 (Book Publishers). The contracting officer is Elyse Schnorr, (505) 460-0863, elyse.schnorr@usda.gov. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by September 24, 2026.
