About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Library of Congress seeking vendor capabilities for a specialized book cradle system for digitization of collection materials. The Library requires a book cradle that can support books opened to 180 degrees measuring up to 24x32 inches, with the ability to hold materials flat during image capture, adjust plate distances, and be compatible with Digital Transitions "Auto-Column" or Cambo RPS columns.
The RFI includes five specific vendor questions designed to gather detailed information about potential book cradle solutions, including maximum book size support, current federal agency and cultural heritage institution usage, government procurement vehicle availability, and willingness to provide an onsite demonstration at the Library of Congress. The document emphasizes that this is voluntary market research, not an official solicitation, and no contract will be awarded as a result of this RFI. Vendors are encouraged to provide capability statements, rough pricing estimates, and feedback on the draft Statement of Work.
