About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for OCLC WorldShare Management Service at Haskell Indian Nation University (HINU). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Bureau of Indian Education intends to award a sole source contract to OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) for library information technology systems. The solicitation number is DOIAFBO260111, and this special notice represents the agency's intent to proceed with a non-competitive award based on the unique qualifications of the vendor and the specific needs of the institution.
The sole source justification indicates that OCLC's WorldShare Management Service is the only system that meets HINU's requirements for integrated library management, as the university has existing infrastructure, staff expertise, and operational dependencies on this platform. This award type eliminates the need for competitive bidding and allows the government to proceed directly with contract negotiation and execution with the identified vendor. The notice serves to inform the public of the agency's intention and provides an opportunity for interested parties to submit written objections prior to final contract award.
