Electronic Research Services

The organization seeks vendors to provide standardized and consistent electronic research services accessible to employees across the United States. The offered research systems must be compatible with Windows 11 and successors, Microsoft Edge, and all subsequent Microsoft operating systems and web browsers. Vendors are required to list and describe all available databases, sources, and products, and specifically include at least one commercial tax service, providing detailed listings of secondary tax research materials.

The enterprise solution should offer robust search capabilities that allow word search of legal and editorial sources without needing to select individual databases, with results organized by category. Administrators must be able to manage user access and information through a single login, and the system must automatically deactivate accounts after one year of inactivity. Research services should be accessible via web browsers and mobile devices to accommodate government office workers. The contract will span a one-year period.
