- Description
- The Library of Congress intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) #LCFDL13R7900 for Preservation Services for Library and Archival Collections. The objective of the solicitation is to establish multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for acquisition of conservation and related services for the Library of Congress FEDLINK program. FEDLINK is a nationwide interagency consortium sponsored by the Library of Congress. The agreements will be multi-agency contracts (MACs) established in accordance with the Library of Congress (LC) Fiscal Operations Improvement Act, P.L. 106-481, Section 103 (2 U.S.C. § 182c.). Any federal entity including the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and independent agencies, as well as contractors to government agencies who are authorized to use federal sources of supply may be authorized to place orders under these agreements in accordance with the terms and procedures described in the solicitation. Agreements are divided into two (2) lots: LOT 1 - Conservation of Library and Archival Materials and LOT 5 - Preservation Consultation and Training. Under LOT 1, vendors provide services to preserve items and stabilize their condition. Conservation treatments must be performed according to AIC guidelines in a manner consistent with the durability and aesthetic quality of the objects. Stabilization methods such as mass deacidification and the creation of protective enclosures are included in this lot. EXCLUSIONS: This solicitation excludes conservation of paintings, sculptures and other three dimensional art objects. Under LOT 5, vendors provide consultation and training services such as workshops, webinars, and seminars on preservation and conservation topics; consultation on conservation needs of specific collections or objects; training of technicians; and general preservation needs assessment surveys, collection surveys, and item-by-item surveys. The RFP #LCFDL13R7900 will be issued on or about May 8, 2013. Vendors are responsible for ensuring that all amendments are received prior to submittal of proposals. Please check this site periodically for amendments or clarifications of the RFP. All proposals must be submitted as specified in Section L of the solicitation. Multiple awards are anticipated. Vendors may qualify under either or both lots. Digital conversion and other reformatting or preservation services are covered under separate LC/FEDLINK solicitations and are not the subject of this solicitation.
