Institute Of Electrical & Electronics Engineers Inc.

Institute Of Electrical & Electronics Engineers Inc., a non-profit tax-exempt organization based in Piscataway, New Jersey, is the prime contractor on a $45 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Library of Congress' Federal Linking Information Network and Technology Exchange (FEDLINK) program and holds additional single-award IDIQs with the Air Force Materiel Command ($473,150 ceiling) and the Science and Technology Directorate. IEEE operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), delivering digital technical library subscriptions, electronic journals, conference proceedings, technical standards, and specialized technical information resources to federal agencies on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis.

IEEE's core capability is providing comprehensive access to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, IEEE/IET Electronic Library, technical standards online, eBook collections focused on electrical engineering and computer science, and related scholarly publications. The organization competes as the sole authorized source for its proprietary content; nearly all awards cite FAR 6.302-1 (proprietary technology) or equivalent sole-source justifications. Representative prime work includes the $4.22 million NASA Shared Services Center IEEE IEL Agency Subscription Renewal (delivery order through August 31, 2029, under FEDLINK), the $4.34 million Air Force Research Laboratory IEEE Xplore digital library subscription (January 2025–December 2029), the $2.24 million Office of Naval Research IEEE online subscription serving the Naval Research Laboratory (December 2025–December 2030), and the $1.83 million Department of Homeland Security online subscription task order (January 2025–December 2028, under FEDLINK). IEEE also subcontracts to Nakupuna Solutions, LLC on two 8(a) directed small business awards for IEEE Enterprise-Level 2 subscriptions and eLearning library access.

Customer concentration tracks heavily to civilian research and defense agencies. The top five customers by combined potential value account for 30% of the federal award base: NASA Shared Services Center leads with $13.4 million across 22 awards, followed by the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory ($12.5 million, 17 awards), Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($5.4 million, 38 awards), National Institute of Standards and Technology ($5.3 million, 15 awards), and the Office of Naval Research ($5.1 million, 69 awards). By award count, the Office of Naval Research tops the list with 69 awards, Naval Sea Systems Command places second with 54, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration third with 42, reflecting broad subscription penetration across Navy and civilian science agencies. The top customer rankings diverge slightly — ONR places many smaller orders while NASA anchors the largest dollar values — but both segments anchor to civilian and defense research missions.

IEEE's vehicle footprint concentrates on Library of Congress FEDLINK arrangements and Air Force-managed IDIQs. The $45 million FEDLINK single-award IDV (03310324D0008) through December 2026 anchors the largest dollar vehicle, with significant task orders from NASA, DHS, NIST, and the Department of Energy. Historical Library of Congress indefinite delivery vehicles (03310319D0029, LC09D7011) carry additional task order obligations totaling $11.4 million combined. Activity has remained steady, with 15 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, and 23 in 2024, averaging roughly 16–18 task orders per year. Nine awards (combined potential value $2.5 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in legacy FEDLINK and Air Force contract expirations.

Service Contract Inventory data show minimal SCI-reportable activity: $6.6 million invoiced in FY2023 and $546 thousand in FY2024 across roughly 1.0 FTE delivered to the federal government in FY2024. The government-paid hourly rate posture across SCI-reportable prime service contracts holds steady at a median of $53.52/hr, with no measurable variation across the 10th, median, and 90th percentiles. SCI data do not capture IEEE's product subscription and digital library revenue, which dominates the award portfolio and flows through fixed-price license and delivery-order mechanics rather than time-and-materials service contracts. Zero sub-hours share on SCI-reportable prime contracts reflects IEEE's exclusive role as the content provider rather than a service integrator; the two named sub-awards to Nakupuna Solutions position Nakupuna as the prime on 8(a) directed awards with IEEE supplying content underneath.

IEEE's federal footprint is concentrated in 192 Professional Organizations NAICS awards and 111 Periodical Publishers awards, with secondary presence in All Other Information Services (77 awards) and Internet Publishing and Broadcasting (71 awards). Top PSC codes are Newspapers And Periodicals (194 awards) and Books And Pamphlets (49 awards), aligning with IEEE's core mission as a publisher and knowledge repository. The vendor's corporate structure identifies The Institute Of Electrical An as the parent entity. As a non-profit membership organization, IEEE does not hold SBA designations and competes exclusively on the merits of its proprietary technical content and established market position across federal research and defense agencies.
