Attachment J11 - Expenses 05-01-2025.xlsx

Attachment J11 is an expense worksheet for a Library of Congress contract (Solicitation 030ADV25R0034) for Multi-State Centers supporting the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. The spreadsheet details expense categories for a base period and nine optional periods, with each period having designated columns for Currency Readers and Talking Book Topics. Despite the comprehensive expense categories (including building lease, utilities, communications, equipment, supplies, postage, travel, and administration), all monthly amounts are currently listed as $0.00, suggesting this is a preliminary or template pricing document.

The associated federal contract opportunity involves two separate contracts for Multi-State Centers serving regions east and west of the Mississippi, supporting a library service for individuals with visual or physical disabilities. The centers will manage distribution of audio and braille books, publications, equipment, and supplies for approximately 55 regional libraries serving 274,000 current readers. Specific responsibilities include receiving, storing, duplicating, and distributing books and magazines, managing inventory systems, providing customer service, and supporting network library operations through web-based applications.
