About the company
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc., through its Barnes & Noble College Booksellers Division and subsidiaries, is a leading provider of educational products and services to the higher education sector. The company specializes in delivering textbooks, course materials, and digital learning solutions to colleges and universities across the United States. In its capacity as a federal contractor, Barnes & Noble Education, primarily through its subsidiary MBS Direct LLC, supplies textbooks, e-books, and other educational resources to federal educational institutions, particularly those focused on maritime training and education.
The majority of Barnes & Noble Education's federal contract work has been centered on providing textbooks and educational materials to the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York, under the auspices of the Maritime Administration (MARAD), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation. These contracts typically involve the delivery of physical textbooks, e-books, and other course materials for various academic terms and sea training programs. The company has fulfilled orders ranging from small procurements of around $9,000 for specific sea training cohorts to larger orders exceeding $500,000 for full academic terms. Additionally, Barnes & Noble Education has supplied specialized resources such as Cengage Unlimited e-books to support the USMMA's curriculum. These contracts are generally awarded as firm-fixed-price or fixed-price with economic price adjustment delivery orders, without set-aside designations.
Barnes & Noble Education holds at least one significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) with the federal government. The company has a $1.5 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (Contract ID: 693JF721D000006) with the Maritime Administration, which runs from May 2021 through May 2026. This contract allows MARAD to issue textbook and resource orders on an as-needed basis to support the educational programs at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. The IDV covers a wide range of educational materials, including physical textbooks, e-books, library materials, and other course resources. While the primary user of this IDV appears to be MARAD for the USMMA, the contract's structure potentially allows for use by other federal agencies requiring similar educational resources. The company has received multiple delivery orders against this IDV, demonstrating its ongoing role in supporting federal maritime education initiatives.
