About the company
AIP Publishing LLC, the publishing division of the American Institute of Physics, is a nonprofit limited liability company that supplies electronic journal subscriptions and online access to physics-related scientific publications to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation across all work. Headquartered in Melville, New York, AIP Publishing operates as a child entity of the American Institute of Physics Incorporated parent organization and derives its federal footprint from sole-source and competitive purchase orders for multi-year journal renewal and subscription access contracts.
AIP Publishing's capability portfolio centers on delivering comprehensive online access to physics journals, backfiles, and peer-reviewed scientific publications under long-term subscription agreements. Representative work includes a $1.02 million sole-source purchase order from the Office of Naval Research effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2030, for AIP Online Subscription access; a $1.46 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Air Force Research Laboratory awarded December 29, 2021, running through December 31, 2026, for AIP Publishing Subscriptions; and a $164,536 contract from NASA's Shared Services Center dated March 17, 2023, for American Physical Society electronic journal subscription renewal. Federal agencies employ these subscriptions to provide researchers and technical personnel with current physics literature and peer-reviewed scientific content supporting research and development objectives.
Customer concentration sits with defense and research agencies. The top five customer agencies account for 71% of awards by count and 92% of combined potential value. The Air Force Research Laboratory leads in dollars ($3.3 million across seven awards), while the Office of Naval Research dominates by award frequency (11 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value). NASA's Shared Services Center, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency round out the active set. AIP Publishing serves fifteen distinct federal agencies across the portfolio.
Activity declined sharply after 2022, moving from six awards in 2022 and four in 2023 to one award in 2024 and two in 2026. Three awards with combined potential value of $1.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. AIP Publishing operates as a sub-award in one instance: a March 3, 2026, sub-award to Triad National Security, LLC, for management and operation of Los Alamos National Laboratory research and development work, though the scope details in that sub-engagement are limited in the source. The vendor's sub footprint is minimal; the prime business dominates the federal relationship.
