About the company
Emerald Publishing LIMITED, a foreign-owned scholarly publisher based in Leeds, United Kingdom and a subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons Inc., provides academic and professional journal subscriptions and publication services to defense and civilian agencies as a prime contractor, operating entirely in full-and-open competition with no set-aside activity. The vendor has received nine federal purchase orders since 2015, all for proprietary journal collections or publication fees, with a combined potential value of $329 thousand. The company does not serve as a subcontractor on federal awards and maintains no presence on government-wide vehicles or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts.
Emerald's customer concentration sits with the U.S. Air Force and Army. The Air Education and Training Command accounts for four awards and $205 thousand in combined potential value, anchored by a three-year $101.5 thousand subscription covering fiscal years 2026 through 2028 for AFIT's library access to Emerald's engineering and science journal collections at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (both the main command and the Engineer Research and Development Center subordinate) holds two awards totaling $67 thousand, with a sole-source $35.786 thousand purchase order for Brand Name ICE Emerald Journals awarded on December 31, 2026, and a $33.086 thousand 12-month subscription for ICE Current Engineering Journal Collection and ICE Science Journal Collection. The Air Force Materiel Command placed a $3.874 thousand publication-fee purchase order in September 2024 for an article to appear in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management. All five named customer agencies are defense or military-education focused; combined, they account for 100% of awards.
Award volume traces a sporadic pattern — one award in 2015, one in 2017, four in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with no clear growth trajectory. One award (the Army ERDC's Brand Name ICE Emerald Journals purchase order with a stated completion date of December 31, 2026) faces recompete or expiration within the next twenty-four months, carrying a potential value of $36 thousand. All nine awards are categorized under Periodicals Publishers or Software Publishers NAICS, with the top PSC code being Newspapers and Periodicals. Emerald operates as a 100% prime contractor with no sub-award footprint; the company does not team with or subcontract to other federal vendors in the federal record.
