- Description
- The Library of Congress intends to issue an open-season solicitation, RFP# S-LC02015, for the FEDLINK Books and Library Publications Acquisitions Program. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is for services from vendors who can supply books and library publications (non-serial publications) and associated acquisition support services to federal libraries, information centers, and other federal offices. The services of serials subscription agents is covered under a separate LC/FEDLINK solicitation and is not the subject of this solicitation. The RFP is divided into four lots which define four different but related aspects of books and library publications acquisitions: LOT 1 - Firm Order Services; LOT 2 - Approval Plan Services; LOT 3 - Leasing Plan Service; and LOT 4 - Technical and/or Order Processing Services. VENDORS MUST QUALIFY UNDER LOT 1 IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SERVICES UNDER LOT 2, LOT 3, OR LOT 4. LOT 1 is the core of this solicitation. LOT 1 -- Firm Order Services covers firm orders; a one-time order for a specific title (or specific titles) in any format and number of copies, in contrast to a subscription or standing order. Under LOT 2, -- Approval Plans, a vendor automatically supplies materials potentially required by a library as they are published, based on a detailed profile of the library's collection needs. The library may return any publications deemed unsuitable for addition to the collection and is only billed for items retained. In LOT 3, -- Leasing Plan Services, the customer leases publications from the supplier instead of buying them, and retains an option to purchase leased items at a reduced price when the term of the lease is over. In LOT 4 -- Technical and/or Order Processing Services, the vendor may provide technical processing for materials supplied under this solicitation, performing physical processing or cataloging in order to supply materials to the customer in shelf-ready condition. Multiple awards are anticipated. The solicitation, RFP# S-LC02015, will be available for downloading on or about February 25, 2002. THE RFP WILL NOT BE MAILED OUT.
