Annual renewal of OCLC Cataloging/Metadata/WorldShare ILL services

George Mason University, located in Virginia, awarded contract PO05399708 to OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc on July 7, 2026. The contract encompasses an annual renewal of cataloging, metadata, and interlibrary loan services through OCLC's WorldShare platform. The cumulative contract value is $7,295.11, with a unit price of $7,295.11 for a single renewal period. Services are to be delivered to Kathleen Stewart at the contracting organization.

The contract represents a continuation of George Mason University's subscription to OCLC's integrated library management and resource-sharing solutions. As a renewal award rather than a new contract, this agreement demonstrates the university's ongoing reliance on OCLC's cataloging and metadata tools, as well as its WorldShare Interlibrary Loan system for facilitating resource sharing among member institutions. The relatively modest contract value suggests this may represent a limited scope of services or a single-year renewal period within a larger institutional subscription arrangement.
