About the company
Internet Archive, a San Francisco-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, provides web archiving, digital preservation, and online content access services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) and research partner. The organization operates without SBA set-aside designation and competes on full-and-open basis across all contract and grant work.
Internet Archive's federal customer base concentrates among cultural heritage and health-information agencies. The top five customers account for 49% of recent award volume: the Smithsonian Institution (7 awards, $116 thousand combined potential value), the National Library of Medicine (6 awards, $278 thousand), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (5 awards, magnitude not specified), the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (5 awards, $110 thousand), and the National Archives and Records Administration (5 awards, $767 thousand). By potential value, NARA dominates at $767 thousand across five awards, followed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management at $296 thousand. Recent concrete work includes a $316.8 thousand definitive contract with NARA for congressional web harvesting, hosting, and operations and maintenance (option period two, completion March 2028); a $198.9 thousand purchase order from the National Library of Medicine for web collecting and archiving services (completion January 2027); and renewal contracts with the Smithsonian Institution for web capture and preservation services averaging $16 thousand to $18 thousand per renewal.
Internet Archive holds no parent government-wide contract vehicles and competes task-order work through direct purchase orders. Recent activity remains relatively flat — four awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024, declining to two in 2025 and three in 2026 — with four awards (combined potential value $516 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The organization's federal grant portfolio is more robust than its contract work. As prime recipient, Internet Archive has secured funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the Archives Research Compute Hub (ARCH), an open-source platform for computational use of web archives (award date August 2023, completion March 2026), and for CWGOV, a nationally scaled program for preserving local government information with the Council of State Archivists as partner (award date September 2026, $594.2 thousand, completion August 2028, CFDA 45.312 under the National Leadership Grants program). Internet Archive received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities for digitization of local history collections from underrepresented communities across seven public libraries (award date July 2024, completion February 2028) and for Legal Literacies for Text Data Mining – Cross Border (LLTDM-X), addressing law and policy issues in international digital humanities research (award date September 2022, completed January 2024). The organization also received a grant from the National Park Service (Intermountain Region) for curation, digitization, and hosting of 100 films and videos on Japanese American incarceration during World War II (award date August 2022, completion August 2025). Internet Archive acts as a sub-award research partner on the Institute of Museum and Library Services–funded project "Preserving Open Access Datasets and Software for Sustainable Computational Reproducibility," providing storage infrastructure and Wayback Machine access for reproducible research datasets.
