- Description
- NASA/JSC has a requirement for the renewal of the Web of Science, Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Conference Proceedings Citation Index, and the Journal Citation Index for one base year and four option years. NASA/JSC intends to purchase these subscriptions from Thomson Reuters.NASA has a requirement to search an online scientific citation indexed database that specializes in cataloging and recording citations for scientific journals and articles in multiple databases and that references scientific cross-disciplines and sub-disciplines. Thomson Reuters is the only company that provides and maintains the Web of Science subscription that allows the Government to search on journal and article citation and entries. This subscription allows International Space Station (ISS) Program Science Office Librarian to search for journals, articles and conference proceedings regarding research conducted on the ISS and all Visiting Vehicles to the ISS.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on December 09, 2013.
