The Library will evaluate offers using a best-value trade-off approach, considering technical approach, past performance, and price, with offers due by May 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT.

The total project involves integrating network hardware across multiple rooms within the NAVCC's Audio Preservation Laboratory, with an estimated total value that will be determined through the competitive bidding process.
