Place of performance is Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The system must support global access for users in locations with limited or no internet connectivity. The contractor must be a current book wholesaler in the library marketplace capable of serving up to 115 libraries. Shipping uses U.S. Postal Service First Class and Priority Mail, UPS, FedEx Ground, or similar carriers to APO addresses in New York or San Francisco, with no international shipping required.
