- Description
- The Library of Congress FEDLINK program intends to issue a request for proposal on July 5, 2016 to procure digitization services on behalf of the Library of Congress Library Services. SCOPE: The Library of Congress Library Services has selected bound volumes and loose archival documents from various collections for digitization. Books will be scanned at opening angles of 180 degrees and 120 degrees, primarily 120 degrees. Some books may have foldouts that require scanning. The Contractor shall perform the digital conversion of the book pages to TIFF image files with staff experienced in handling and scanning library collection materials. Derivative images (JPEG2000, and GIF) may be required. Images and associated metadata shall be delivered according to the BagIt specification. Digitization requirements are driven by the most current version of the information capture specifications (sampling rate, tone/amplitude resolution, encoding, etc.), quality guidelines, and content categories and digitization objectives recommended by the Still Image Group of the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative ("FADGI"). Sample target files may be required prior to contract award. Once the project begins, the contractor will be required to submit targets on a daily basis. Digital conversion will take place at Library of Congress facilities. The Library will provide adequate space and infrastructure for the required equipment and operator. PLEASE NOTE: A pre-proposal vendor conference will be held at the Library of Congress to allow interested offerors to view the collection materials: Date: Monday, July 11, 2016 Time: 1:30-3:30 pm Location: Library of Congress 101 Independence Ave. SE Washington, DC Registration: Send a message to vfox@loc.gov and cc: flicc-cl@loc.gov providing company name, name and title of representative(s), email address, and telephone number for the day of the conference. Because of space constraints, a maximum of two persons per vendor may attend the conference. The exact location of the conference will be provided upon registration. FEDLINK services are used by federal libraries and information centers worldwide. Written responses should include prices and technical data sufficient to determine capability. No telephone calls will be accepted. Ref: LCFDL16RFP004 - DLCV.
