C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK

1. OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND

The Library of Congress (Library) requires contract support to purchase motion-picture laboratory film stock for use in the preservation of motion-picture films belonging to the Library’s collection. Various black-and-white motion-picture film stocks are used by the Motion Picture Film Preservation Laboratory during the preservation of motion pictures belonging to the Library’s collection. It is anticipated that this requirement will continue for at least the next 2 years. The Library requires an IDIQ contract to be established in FY24 with a base year and one-year option, with the second year having a price redetermination.

2. SCOPE

The Library seeks to purchase the following categories of motion-picture film stocks:

Black-and-white fine grain print film stock, 35mm gauge Black-and-white fine grain duplicating negative film stock, 35mm gauge Black-and-white fine grain master positive film stock, 35mm gauge Color-print film stock, 35mm gauge Color-intermediate film stock, 35mm gauge
