Description
Thr Preservation Directorate (PD) of Library Services within the Library of Congress (LOC) intends to contract for preparation for microfilming and digitization. The Library of Congress has monographs, serials and other printed works in need of preparation for preservation reformatting (microfilming, microfiche, and/or digital imaging). Many of these materials are in foreign languages and could be in any script, including Arabic, Asian, and Cyrillic language scripts. Many volumes or issues may be brittle or deteriorated, with physical damage, such as torn pages or loose bindings. Many volumes or issues are in soft bindings or are not bound. Volumes may vary in length from a few pages to hundreds of pages. Items may range in size from a few inches in both dimensions to large posters, maps, folios and newspapers. The serials include periodicals and official government publications, both bound and unbound, and newspapers. Some materials may be recently produced or published. The Contractor shall perform all preparation for all microfilming and digitization at the Contractor's facility. The Contractor shall collect and pack materials from the Library's storage areas, transport the volumes to the Madison Building loading dock where they shall be loaded on the Contractor's vehicle for transport to the Contractor's site. The deliverables shall include an archival master microform, a duplicate negative, and a microform positive service copy, in 35 millimeter open-reel microfilm or 105 millimeter microfiche in accordance with industry technical, editorial, and bibliographic standards For some material only a digital surrogate may be produced; a digital file from scanned or digitized microform images may also be requested. Upon request both a microform and digital surrogate may be produced for the same material. The Library notes that one key purpose for preservation imaging is to create an archival copy; distribution of these copies will follow a careful determination of their copyright status. The Library will not require the Contractor to perform work if, by doing so, the Contractor will infringe upon third-party rights under the Copyright Law of the United States. The Library anticipates between 300,000 and 2,000,000 pages produced per year. Under this contract, no work (microform or digital) may be subcontracted to another vendor. The Library anticipates awarding a single award indefinite delivery idefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with firm fixed unit price orders consisting of one base year and four option years, with performance beginning on September 30, 2014. The approximate date of release of the RFP is December 4, 2013, and the approximate date of closing is February 3, 2014. Contracting Office Address: 101 Independence Ave. SE Washington, D.C. 20540
