Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence Based Practice (EBP) Subscription

The Veterans Health Administration is conducting market research to identify vendors that can provide a nationwide, web‑based, subscription to the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence‑Based Practice (JBI EBP) database. The subscription must be accessible to all VHA facilities and remote users via IP‑based authentication (Athens for VPN users), be 508‑compliant, compatible with standard browsers, and include full technical support, usage statistics, and mobile device access. The contract will be a one‑year base period with four optional one‑year extensions, allowing the VA to leverage economies of scale and simplify licensing across its 153 medical centers. Vendors must be authorized resellers of Wolters Kluwer’s JBI product and be able to submit a rough order of magnitude price. • Federal source‑sought (RFI) – no commitment to award. • Required product: web‑based, enterprise‑wide access to JBI EBP database. • Authentication: IP‑validation + Athens VPN support; no individual usernames/passwords. • Performance: 1‑year base, up to 5 years with options; 24/7 availability, 508 compliance. • Mandatory deliverables: technical support, usage stats, mobile compatibility, 2‑day response SLA. • Submission deadline: 09/16/2026 1:00 PM ET via email to the Contracting Officer. • Small‑business set‑aside considerations are included; vendors must indicate applicable SBA programs.
