Please fill out pages 1,2,4 of the solicitation; sign and date and include pricing per line item. (Please see section C for complete details of the requirements) The Contractor shall provide all supplies and/or perform the services described in Section C., Statement of Work), at the Library of Congress, in accordance with the requirements of this Solicitation/Contract. The purpose of this solicitation is to create a Blanket Purchase Agreement; this solicitation may result in multiples awards. CALM Division is responsible for purchasing and making available metal theft detectors known as security targets (or security strips). These security targets are used to protect many of the Library of Congress' collections, including both book and non-book formats from the unauthorized removal from Library facilities both on and off Capitol Hill. To protect the many thousands of new items added to the collections, as well as material already in the collections that have not yet been protected, the Library requires approximately 500,000 security targets. Materials come into the Library through Copyright and through the LOC Acquisitions Directorate. The material is housed in at least five different facilities including three Library of Congress Capitol Hill buildings, the Jefferson, Adams and Madison buildings. The public, through several reading rooms located in the Capitol Hill buildings, has materials retrieved from the collections for research and use. The main campus of the Library has three buildings, with 9-14 doors used at any time for staff and the public to enter and exit. The width of these aisles varies from thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) inches. Each of these doors has a Knogo theft detection aisle appropriate to that location, which is a micro-magnetic system designed to signal in the presence of a permanently active electromagnetic security strip (also commercially called tags or targets.) In addition to annual operations for newly acquired items, as well as items already in the Capitol Hill collections, since Spring 2010 the Library has been moving millions of items of special format collection to a state-of-the-art off-site collections storage facility at Fort Meade, MD. These collections are comprised of books format and special format items, such as prints, photographs, drawings, manuscripts, music sheet, globes, negatives, microfilm masters and other 3-dimensional materials. Collections are housed in over 230,000 containers. Security targets will serve to protect containers and items during the various processes of the move and storage of those collections at Fort Meade, as well as during access of these items to patrons on Capitol Hill. The CALM Division intends to purchase the following products: - Insertion between pages (double-sided adhesive - 5") security targets - Book spine insertion (single-sided adhesive - 4") security targets - Metal rods (for insertion of targets inside books) These materials need to meet LC Specifications provided in this solicitation for preservation and security of collection in order to comply with the mission of the Library of make collections available for future generations. Failure to procure these supplies could increase security risk for collections and result in permanent loss of LOC collections.
