Cartridges and Container Labeling Contract

2025-NLS-0079

C.1. OVERVIEW / BACKGROUND

The Library of Congress (Library) National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS), requires contractor support to provide printed labels for cartridges, return labels for cartridge containers and labels for shipping boxes containing cartridges and cartridges containers. The cartridge labels require print and Braille.

NLS provides a complimentary Braille and talking book library service for individuals experiencing temporary or permanent low vision, blindness, or physical, perceptual, or reading disabilities hindering the use of standard print materials. Operating through a nationwide network of cooperating libraries, the NLS distributes books and magazines in Braille or audio formats, available for instant download to personal devices or built-in audio players that are loaned free of charge to NLS patrons. NLS Patrons use an NLS reading application sent by mail, at no cost, to approximately 96 Network Libraries distributed in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Network Libraries distribute the information to the patrons. Until now, NLS has produced the cartridges labels in house and mailed them directly to the Network Libraries. The NLS anticipates the need for a minimum of 150,000 sets per year. The NLS anticipates a maximum number of 2 million sets within the total of five-year contract period.

The Library requires a contractor to produce labels for cartridges, which contain recorded books, magazines and other materials, and for containers. The labels must be printed according to NLS specifications described in this solicitation and in the attachments. The contractor shall ship the cartridges in the cartridge containers, using shipping boxes, to the Network Libraries in the United States via USPS Free Matter for the Blind following USPS specifications.

The USPS Free Matter for the Blind is a special mailing service created on March 2, 1899, by an act of Congress, regulating “the postage on letters written by the blind”. This piece of legislation was the first such postal law benefiting blind persons in the United States. Each year Congress appropriates funds to the USPS to cover the mailing cost of “Free Matter for the Blind or Other Physically Handicapped Persons (FMFB). Additional information about the USPS Free Matter for the Blind can be found in section 3.2.
