About the company
Newsbank Inc., doing business as Readex, a veteran-owned firm based in Naples, Florida, operates as a prime contractor delivering digital news archives, historical newspaper databases, and obituary/funeral notice subscription services to federal agencies on full-and-open purchase orders and delivery orders — the vendor competes exclusively without small business set-asides. Newsbank is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation; its award footprint spans 232 prime federal contracts and orders across 33 customer agencies, with no subcontract activity.
Newsbank's capability portfolio centers on subscription-based digital content: the Access World News Research Collection (current and archived news from over 14,500 sources globally), Heritage Hub (consolidated U.S. obituaries and funeral notices), Early American Newspapers and Evans Digital (historical newspaper archives), Armed Services and Government News, FBIS Daily Reports, JPRS Reports, and the U.S. Congressional Serial Set. Representative recent awards include a $1.416 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Defense Education Activity (award date September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028) for military news and information access serving active duty, reserve, and retired military personnel and dependents worldwide; a $192,030 sole-source purchase order from the USDA (award date August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031) for subscription-based Access World News Research Collection access across all USDA users; and a $117,471 purchase order from West Point Military Academy (award date July 10, 2024) exercising an option year for Readex historical newspaper and government document subscriptions supporting the Jefferson Library.
Customer concentration divides between defense education and national security libraries on one hand and Justice Department research support on the other. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 50% of recent awards, led by the Naval Education and Training Command (36 awards, $238 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Defense Education Activity (27 awards, $3.6 million). By potential value, DoDEA dominates at $3.6 million across 27 awards; the Library of Congress ranks second with $1 million across two awards. The Justice Management Division's recurring orders for Access World News and Heritage Hub consolidate $517 thousand across 16 awards. Newsbank sits on five parent vehicles, most prominently GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS02F1405H (45 task orders, $466 thousand combined potential value) and Library of Congress Indefinite Delivery Contract LC14C7127 (14 task orders, $309 thousand).
Recent activity has declined from historical levels — the source captures one award in 2022, three in 2023, and two each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with three awards (combined potential value $1.6 million) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's $17.6 million combined potential value across all 232 awards reflects a mature, stable customer base in federal libraries, military education, and research support functions rather than growth-trajectory positioning.
