Wiley Online Library Database and OA Publication and Management

This Special Notice from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intends to award a sole-source contract to John Wiley & Sons Inc. for access to the Wiley Online Library database and open access publication management services. The NOAA seeks to provide continued online access to all journal publications in the Wiley database for its researchers and staff through a subscription agreement.

The Special Notice seeks to establish a contract vehicle to provide NOAA corresponding authors with a streamlined process for managing gold open access publishing fees in Wiley journals at a negotiated discounted rate. Interested parties have until June 30, 2023 to notify the contracting officer of intent to participate in a competitive procurement, otherwise the NOAA will proceed with awarding a sole-source contract to the incumbent, Wiley, for these services. The base period of performance is one year with four additional one-year option periods. The contract will provide NOAA locations across the continental United States with the required subscription and publication management capabilities.
