This Total Small Business set-aside contract establishes an indefinite delivery vehicle for acquiring library services in accordance with the statement of work.

Service deliverables include cataloging and metadata librarian support, digital library services and platform implementation, professional reference and law librarian services, specialized research support (including agricultural law information partnerships and animal welfare information center services), manuscript collection data improvement, digitization technical support, data repository services, and support for various USDA library information centers such as the Food and Nutrition Information Center and National Invasive Species Information Center. Performance locations are primarily at Calverton, Maryland and Potomac, Maryland, with individual task orders ranging from $0 to $820,427.36, predominantly structured on firm fixed-price terms to support both base year requirements and optional period extensions through 2025.
