- Description
- This Notice of Intent is issued, Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 13.106-1(b), to inform the general public that The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) intends on issuing a Purchase Order to the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) to make revisions to IMLS' document, "Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections" (the "Framework") and incorporating this document into a web site used by library and museum practitioners. This document, developed in 2000 and revised in 2004, established principles for creating, managing and preserving digital collections, digital objects, metadata, and projects. The Framework also provides links to relevant standards that support the principles. Because of its unique role as developer and maintainer of technology information standards for libraries, and its authoritative position as purveyor of standards-based practice, IMLS has determined that NISO is the only source available for the Framework's continued maintenance, support and revisions. Other organizations who feel are capable of meeting IMLS' requirements are hereby given notice of an opportunity to respond and are invited to submit information establishing a bona fide capability to fulfill this requirement. If IMLS does not identify other acceptable sources capable of providing this requirement, the agency shall issue a sole source award for the above service under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions. This is NOT a Request for Proposal and the Government does not intend to pay for information submitted. Requests for copies of a solicitation will not be honored or acknowledged. Respondents will NOT be notified of the results of the information received. Verbal responses are NOT acceptable and will not be considered. Responses to this notice must be submitted by April 23, 2007, 5:00 pm, EST. Responses may be sent via E-MAIL ONLY to the point of contact listed below. NO PHONE CALLS OR FAXES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
