- Integrated Library Management System This is a COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RRP) # NLR63310015Q0136. This RFP will result in the award of a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order for a web-based integrated library management system for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-83, effective 7/2/2015. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The NLRB is an independent Federal agency created by Congress in 1935 to administer the National Labor Relations Act, the primary law governing relations between unions and employers in the private sector. The statute guarantees the right of employees to organize and to bargain collectively with their employers or to refrain from all such activity. NLRB Library maintains a collection of over 25,000 volumes of legal and non-legal literature. Core to its collection are publications in labor relations law, labor history, economics and political science. The Library also maintains a collection of legislative histories of laws that are of interest to the agency. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work for this Purchase Order is to maintain the Library's web-based integrated library management system. Software and services provided under this Purchase Order will constitute services in support of NLRB Library functions; i.e., cataloging, circulation, and OPAC. OBJECTIVES The Library is committed to providing exceptional information services to NLRB patrons by implementing an integrated library management system, web-based, of superior functionality and cost efficiency. Software Modules Required The Vendor will provide a fully Web-based system, built on Microsoft.NET technology and the SQL Server relational database. The Web design should enable users to quickly move from one module to another, reducing the number of steps you have to make to get the job done. • OPAC Discovery Web OPAC will allow patrons and staff to place holds, search and explore library collections from remote locations via the internet. • Cataloging Allows staff to catalog from any location via your browser, complete with the functionality needed to add, view, delete or edit a record. Plus have the capability to view records and conduct cross library searches similar to the public. MARC editing functions should be included in the cataloging module. Provide MARC-labeled editing screens for importing, exporting, adding and maintaining bibliographic records, complete with the display of valid MARC codes. • Circulation Circulation features should provide intuitive circulation desk functions designed to facilitate the viewing and editing of both patron and item information in a logical fashion, improving service to patrons. REQUIREMENTS • Vendor will provide hosting services for the ILS solution. Data hosting center will be fully owned and operated by the vendor, and not contracted out to a third party. Global Data Centers offer a better way to manage IT costs and eliminate work by relieving you of the need to configure, maintain, and support a hardware, network and software environment. • Vendor will provide comprehensive training via remote Internet connection. • Vendor will provide data conversion services, making current data compatible with the future system.

Proposals should address the requirements consistent with the evaluation criteria described in this Solicitation. Lengthy narratives containing extraneous information are discouraged.
