Cambridge University Press

Cambridge University Press, a division of the University of Cambridge, is a world-leading academic publisher that provides a wide range of scholarly content to the U.S. federal government through federal contract awards. The company offers digital access to academic journals, ebook collections, research publications, and English language learning materials. As one of the oldest and most prestigious university presses in the world, Cambridge University Press has a long history of producing high-quality academic content across various disciplines, including science, technology, medicine, humanities, and social sciences.

Recent federal contract awards to Cambridge University Press have primarily been for providing online access to its proprietary scholarly content. The Department of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and other defense agencies have awarded contracts for digital journal subscriptions and full package access to support their research and educational programs. Civilian agencies such as the Departments of Agriculture, Justice, and Health and Human Services have also contracted with Cambridge University Press for similar services, including backfile purchases and custom ebook collections. Additionally, the company has supplied English as a Second Language (ESL) textbooks to support education programs in federal correctional facilities. These contracts are typically awarded on a sole-source basis, reflecting Cambridge University Press's unique position as the copyright holder and exclusive provider of its academic resources. The contracts are generally structured as firm-fixed-price purchase orders without set-aside designations, ranging in value from around $10,000 to over $290,000.
