Attachment J4 - Pricing Sheet.xlsx

This is a pricing sheet template for the procurement of Digital Talking Book Machine (DTBM) Generation 1 Battery Packs by the Library of Congress. Offerors are required to complete the green-highlighted section with unit prices for DTBM Generation 1 Battery Packs, including an initial ordering option and separate pricing for Ordering Year 1 and Ordering Year 2. All unit prices must be all-inclusive, incorporating overhead costs such as tariffs, pricing fluctuations, and shipping on a per-unit basis. The Library of Congress does not know the volume of battery packs it intends to order, making per-unit pricing essential for cost estimation across variable quantities.

The template also encourages offerors to propose alternative pricing structures in the blue-highlighted section, such as tiered pricing based on order volume, bundled shipping arrangements, or other innovative pricing models. However, completion of the green section is mandatory, while the blue section for alternative pricing options is optional. Proposals must be submitted by October 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern, with questions due by October 7, 2026. This is a full and open competition under FAR 13.5 authority for bespoke batteries used by National Library Service (NLS) patrons.
