It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to negotiate on a sole-source basis with OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Dublin Ohio, under the authority 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (b)(1) to acquire the bibliographic services for Cataloging of Scandinavian and Esoteric Language Monographs and Multi-Part Items. The project entails: 1) searching an outside bibliographic source (i.e., the OCLC WorldCAT) for a mix of Scandinavian and Esoteric languages, specifically in Catalan, Czech, Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, Romanian, and Ukranian and returning uncataloged to NLM 0-24 titles for which copy is found; and b) providing original limited cataloging records for 433-548 titles in a mix of Catalan, Czech, Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, Romanian, and Ukranian for which copy is not identified. The services will include applying the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition (Revised 1998) (AACR2R) and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs) to descriptive cataloging and verification of name/series access points in the online authority file available via OCLC, assigning NLM Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) descriptors and assigning class numbers to each monograph using the NLM Classification or the Library of Congress classification schemes. OCLC have trained library professional staff, with an in-depth knowledge of cataloging applying AACR2R and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs), and experience in a wide variety of foreign languages including those required by this project. Therefore OCLC has the unique capabilities to carry out this work. This project is envisioned to consist of a one-year base period with options for two successive one-year periods. The period of performance shall begin on or about September 27, 2000. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. This is not a Request for Quotations (RFQ) nor is an RFQ available. All responsible sources may request a copy of the statement of work to submit a proposal which will be considered by the NLM. Telephone and Facsimile request will not be accepted. ***** Posted 08/11/00 (W-SN485194). (0224)
