BOM_OCLC2025.xlsx

The file contains a Bill of Materials (BOM) and a Special Notice for a sole-source procurement by the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory for OCLC library services. The procurement is for a base 12-month period from 01 August 2025 through 31 July 2026, with four additional option years extending through 31 July 2030. Specific products include the Cataloging and Metadata Subscription (Item 3000030) and WorldShare ILL (Item 3000065), which are critical library services for the AFIT D'Azzo Research Library.

The notice indicates the Air Force intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order directly to OCLC, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as the only reasonably available source. Potential respondents must submit capability statements by 04 June 2025 at 12:00 PM EST to Benjamin Spencer and Jessica Vetter, with responses limited to 10 pages. While this is a sole-source notice, the government will consider responses received within 5 days, potentially converting the procurement to a competitive or small business set-aside process if warranted.
