The Library requires a contractor to transcribe book listings to braille, proof the content, duplicate using a press or embosser, bind, box, and ship to approximately 3,200 subscribers under U.S. Postal Service Free Matter regulations. The contractor must also upload digital braille in BRF format to the National Library Service (NLS) download platform.

The solicitation is a competitive, 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for producing six bimonthly issues per year, with each issue averaging 200 braille pages and typically bound in four volumes. The proposal submission deadline is 7/16/2025 at 5 PM EDT, with the contract to be awarded under FAR 13.5 procedures. Task orders will specify the number of copies needed for each Braille Book Review issue, and the digital and physical distribution requirements are a critical component of the contract's scope.
