About Association Of Research Libraries
Association of Research Libraries, doing business as the Coalition for Networked Information, is a nonprofit membership organization representing 127 research libraries across the United States and Canada that operates as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor delivering institutional membership services and research data management support to federal agencies. ARL competes exclusively in full-and-open procurement and carries no set-aside designations; all 115 recent awards are prime, with zero subcontract footprint.
ARL's core federal footprint consists of two distinct service lines. The primary line is institutional membership dues paid by federal research libraries and agencies — the National Agricultural Library, the National Library of Medicine, the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences — typically valued at $30 thousand to $32 thousand per annual renewal. Representative membership contracts include a $31,842 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Agriculture (awarded January 2026, completion December 2026), a $31,217 purchase order from the National Library of Medicine (awarded August 2024), and a $31,217 purchase order from the Smithsonian Institution (awarded December 2023). The second line is federal grant work in research data management and library leadership development. ARL holds a $297,019 National Science Foundation grant (Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, CFDA 47.070, completed July 2023) for evidence-based models of research data sharing; a $249,531 Institute of Museum and Library Services grant (Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, CFDA 45.313, completion July 2026) supporting a diversity, equity, and inclusion institute for academic and research librarians; an IMLS grant (completion July 2026) on the economics of investments in public access to research data, conducted with Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Minnesota, and Duke University; and a current IMLS grant (awarded August 2024, completion July 2027) for AI scenario planning and toolkit development for research library leadership.
Customer concentration is moderate and split across federal research institutions. The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support leads by award count (18 awards, $472 thousand combined potential value), followed by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (17 awards, $263 thousand), the Smithsonian Institution (14 awards, $267 thousand), and the National Library of Medicine (5 awards, $151 thousand). These four customers account for 78% of combined potential value across the 115-award portfolio. Activity has been episodic — one award in 2022, six in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — reflecting the recurring annual nature of membership renewals and the multiyear grant cycle. Four awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $64 thousand and face recompete exposure. ARL operates from headquarters in Washington, D.C., with contract work performed in Bethesda, Maryland and Calverton, Maryland.
