Enterprise News Monitoring and Enterprise License Management Support — Sources Sought

Background
HHS, through the Office of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, is conducting market research for department-wide news, policy, regulatory, and congressional monitoring and enterprise license administration. This is a sources-sought notice only; no award will result from it.

Work Details
Provide an enterprise platform, licensed content, implementation, training, technical support, and license management for HHS headquarters and participating operating and staff divisions.

- Monitor national, regional, state, local, trade, and specialized news; executive actions, agency announcements, rules, notices, guidance, and comment opportunities; and legislation, hearings, appropriations, reports, and oversight activity. Sources include the Federal Register, Regulations.gov, Congress.gov, agency and official congressional websites, and related news. Provide authoritative links and relevant dates, deadlines, statuses, sponsors, or committees. Describe coverage of premium, broadcast, podcast, public social media, and multilingual content, including limitations.
- Provide searchable current and historical content, saved queries, filters, topic watchlists, duplicate grouping, immediate alerts, scheduled digests, shared workspaces, and exports with source attribution.
- Support centralized and delegated account administration, provisioning, transfers and deactivation, entitlement reconciliation, component-level usage reporting, license optimization, renewal notifications, and documented content and internal redistribution rights.
- Configure or migrate approved searches and alerts. Provide user and administrator training, help desk support, service reporting, continuity procedures, and transition assistance. Key outputs include an implementation plan, source and entitlement inventory, alerts and digests, monthly usage and service reports, and transition exports.
- Describe SSO, MFA, role-based access, audit logging, interfaces, export formats, security and privacy safeguards, hosting, and FedRAMP status or assessment evidence. Address Section 508 conformance and provide a current product-specific Accessibility Conformance Report if available. Disclose AI features, source-verification methods, and whether Government data or queries are used to train models.

The baseline is public-source monitoring and necessary account administration. Sensitive HHS case or patient information is outside scope. Automatic renewal and unapproved additional charges are not contemplated.

Place of Performance
Remote service delivery is anticipated, subject to final requirements.

Bidder Requirements
Respondents may describe business size and socioeconomic status, relevant publisher authorizations, up to three comparable examples, their role as prime, reseller, subcontractor, or team member, and any teaming needs. Responding is voluntary and is not a prerequisite for a future solicitation.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a closely related prior contract for enterprise news monitoring and licensing support, with DMD America identified under contract 75P00125P00065 (Analysource license agreement) valued at $62,285 for 08/15/25–08/14/26. The prior award’s focus on licensing aligns with the current requirement to provide an enterprise platform and manage licensed content, including account administration and ongoing license management functions.
