- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE The United States Air Force (the Government) intends to issue a Firm-Fixed-Price order to a single source American Physical Society (APS), on or about 1 Jan 2024, the period of performance (PoP) shall be 12 months from receipt of award, with 2 option years ending in 2026. PSC: 7630 NAICS: 513120 Size Standard: 1,000 Employees Software name: American Physical Society (APS) Supplier name: American Physical Society (APS) Product description: The proposed effort covered by this individual Justification and Approval is for a subscription to the APS scientific journals collection. The subscription period of performance will run from 1 JAN 2024 to 31 DEC 2026. The AFRL Library Council has a requirement for an online physics journals collection that meets the laboratory's mission to ""lead the discovery, development, and integration of warfighting technologies for our air, space and cyberspace forces."" The AFRL libraries support civilian, contractor, and military personnel, primarily scientists and engineers (S&Es), assigned to the eight AFRL technical directorates which include Aerospace Systems, Airman Systems, Directed Energy, Information, Materials and Manufacturing, Munitions, Sensors, and Space Vehicles and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). The AFRL libraries provide research materials, including databases, electronic books, journals and other services, to all AFRL S&Es. The AFRL Library Council is a consortium that exists to create partnerships among the libraries at the various sites hosting AFRL elements. The different locations are Arlington, VA, Edwards AFB, Eglin AFB, Fort Sam Houston, Kirtland AFB, Rome Research Site, and Wright-Patterson AFB. They cooperatively acquire materials that are made available to civilian, contractor, and military employees across the laboratory. The required scientific journal collection will help the AFRL Library Council meet the above mission by providing the library users with research materials to meet the requirements of the Air Force Research Laboratory's research and development goals. This resource needs a highly focused scope on the field of physics and allied areas and to offer a tailored collection of electronic journals for scientists and engineers (S&Es) that provides access to full-text titles, primarily peer-reviewed journal articles. Due to the differing research missions of the individual AFRL technical directorates that the libraries support, the required journal collection needs to be all-inclusive of the different materials and allow S&Es the ability to research the required physics topics effectively and efficiently. The resource needs to provide full-text access to the more than a dozen APS scientific journals, including ""Physical Review"" and ""Physical Review Letters."" These resources need to be made available through the individual AFRL libraries' websites or intranet sites via the EZproxy authentication service, as well as provide their own interface that can be accessed through an independent website.� This resource needs to allow material to be downloaded to provide offline access in situations with low or no internet access. The resource needs to provide online research tools from professionally curated and/or peer-reviewed sources that offer trusted information in abstracts, articles, and electronic journals with a focus on the subject areas listed above. �Description�� Physical Review Letters - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026� �� Reviews of Modern Physics - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026� � � � � �� Physical Review A - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026 Physical Review B - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026�� Physical Review C - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026�� Physical Review D - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026 Physical Review E - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026 Physical Review Applied - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026�� Physical Review Fluids - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026� � � � Physical Review Materials - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026 Physical Review Online Archive (PROLA) - 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2026 ��� Contractors should be aware of the following information: Contractors must include the following information: Points of contact, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers.
