About this opportunity
The Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice is for a subscription to Web of Science, which provides comprehensive indexing of metadata, citation connections, and global research content across disciplines. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement Operations issued this justification, citing Web of Science's essential role in HITEC's research and analysis of non-traditional collectors and threat actors, as no other tool provides the level of targeting information and connections between individuals and entities. The contract was awarded on February 28, 2024 to an unknown vendor for an unknown amount, providing unlimited users access to Web of Science, Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index, and other databases.
Notice text
Subscription to Web of Science, Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation
Index, Conference Proceeding Citation Index, Current Contents Connect, SciELO Citation
Index, Korean Journal Database (unlimited number of users). Web of Science supports
discovery with exhaustive indexing of metadata and distinctive editorial capture of cited
references and other citation connections. Web of Science is the only platform of its kind,
offering fully integrated search and discovery across multidisciplinary, subject-specific and
regionally focused citation indexes. The complete Web of Science platform assembles over 150
million records from as many as 34,000 journals, plus adds conferences, books, patents, and
data repositories, to offering users unrivaled choice and access to the world’s global data and
insightful analytics relating to that content. The reach of Web of Science has continually
expanded through the addition of indexes covering emerging global research, plus regional
coverage collaborations spotlighting Latin America, Asia, and Europe. These help researchers
uncover content from their region, often in their local language and character sets.
Web of Science plays an essential role in HITEC research and analysis of non-traditional
collectors and threat actors. There is no other tool available that provides comprehensive
information on foreign and US researchers’ research topics, institutional affiliation, subinstitutional
affiliations (i.e. research labs), funding sources/grant numbers, and co-authors.
Critical targeting information, especially connections between individuals and entities, that
previously took analysts hours to find, or was often inaccessible, especially in aggregate, is
quickly accessible via Web of Science. HITEC analysts combine this information with other
sources into analytic products that inform intelligence and law enforcement operations by DHS
and interagency partners.
Awarded contract 70RDA224P00000005 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-02-28.
