Beijing Book Company, Inc.

Beijing Book Company, Inc., operating as Beijing Book Co Inc., is a minority-owned small business that specializes in providing Chinese-language publications to the U.S. federal government. The company primarily supplies books, journals, rare medical manuscripts, and other literature to support medical research and public health initiatives. As a division of China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation, Beijing Book Company has established itself as a key supplier of specialized Chinese-language materials to various government agencies, particularly within the Department of Health and Human Services and its components.

The company has secured numerous federal contract awards, predominantly from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its subsidiaries such as the National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. These awards typically take the form of firm fixed price purchase orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $160,000. The goods provided include Chinese serials, medical journals, monographic materials, and rare medical manuscripts. These materials are crucial for building and maintaining the agencies' Chinese collections and supporting ongoing research programs. Notable recent contracts include a $159,263.44 award for rare medical manuscripts and multiple smaller awards for various Chinese publications. Beijing Book Company operates as a prime contractor in these agreements, with no major subcontractors identified in the available data. While the company qualifies as a minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business, the contracts awarded do not indicate the use of set-aside designations.

In February 2024, Beijing Book Company was awarded a significant single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations. This BPA, with a ceiling value of $100 million and a performance period through December 2024, solidifies the company's position as a primary supplier of Chinese-language materials to the NIH and its components. Under this agreement, Beijing Book Company will continue to provide a wide range of publications, including books, journals, and other literature to support the diverse research needs of NIH organizations. This BPA builds upon the company's track record of successful deliveries, with previous task orders totaling over $500,000 since 2019. The agreement's substantial value and scope underscore the importance of Beijing Book Company's role in supplying specialized Chinese-language resources to advance global public health research efforts within the federal government.
