- Description
- Operational Contracting, US Air Force Academy has a requirement for the continuance of the leased book plan for the Community Center Library for the period October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007. This is not a request for proposal or an invitation for bid and is not to be construed as a commitment to award one or more resulting contracts. The service is currently provided by the McNaughton Book Service (Brodart Company). The plan consists of the BF-10 for adult lease books and the childrens book plan (90 points). The purpose of this request for information is to determine whether this requirement should be competed. Changing library requirements could potentially cause a significant disruption in service and a break in continuity. The costs of removing hundreds of bibliographic records from the library automated system would have to be born by the successful awardee and would have to be recognized in any offer. Following is a suggested outline for a response to this RFI. This outline is intended to minimize the effort of the respondent and structure the responses for ease of analysis by the government. Nevertheless, respondents are free to develop their response as they see fit. Section 1 Description of your alternative lease book plan and childrens book plan Section 2 Suggestions for the disposition of the 900 titles currently owned by the incumbent contractor. Section 3 Cost and Schedule Estimates. Annual cost of your plan and your estimate of the time requirement for the Government to convert the Community Center Library to your plan. And the tasks required to convert to your suggested plan while minimizing a disruption in service. Section 4 Corporate Expertise Briefly describe your company, your products and services, history, ownership, financial information, and business size. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked Proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. In accordance with FAR 15.202(e), a response to this notice is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract.
