- Synopsis : The Library of Congress, National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS/BPH) has a requirement for a contractor to provide services to operate and manage Multistate Centers facility and to serve regional and subregional libraries for the blind and physically handicapped. Multistate centers (MSCs) function as materials-support units for NLS for network libraries in two specified geographical areas of the country. Working under the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS/BPH) on a contractual basis and relating directly to the network libraries in their service areas, the centers provide publications, equipment, supplies, and interlibrary loan service for all NLS/BPH mass-produced books and magazines on request to network agencies and to the other MSC. They must receive, store, shelve, duplicate, manage, and distribute all NLS/BPH-issued books, selected special collections including assigned back issues of magazines and volunteer-produced material (including cassettes and braille books selected for limited distribution); store and manage duplicating masters such as open reel tape, and cassette, store and ship sound reproducers and allied equipment; and store and ship publications and supplies. The administrative functions of the centers include managing staff use of online and local and electronic information fulfillment systems, customer service, electronic inventory, information systems, purchasing, quality control, and safety. Many of the Centers support services require use and management of Web-based NLS applications. These specifications describe the minimum acceptable requirements for the performance of these functions. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be posted on FedBizOpps on or about December 21, 2010. Offers will be due approximately 30 business days after the solicitation issue date.
