The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) is seeking a Collection Management System (CMS) through a non-personal services contract to manage and provide access to its extensive archival collections. The solicitation, issued by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Eustis, requires a commercial off-the-shelf system capable of managing both physical and digital archival materials with a robust public user interface and advanced search functionality. The evaluation will use a trade-off analysis with three primary factors: Technical (40%), Past Performance (40%), and Price (20%), focusing on the contractor's ability to meet system requirements for accountability, functionality, and technical support. Contractors are required to submit quotes electronically, limited to 35 pages across three volumes, with the government intending to award without discussions. Questions for the solicitation are due by 27 March 2025 at NOON Eastern Daylight Savings Time, with a contract goal of go-live no later than 26 September 2025.

The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations and covers a comprehensive system with 50 concurrent user licenses for managing an extensive archival collection comprising 18,979 linear feet of manuscript material, 3,809 linear feet of photographs, 8,690 films, 10,577 sound recordings, 486,000 books, and 75,000 artifacts. The system must provide 50 terabytes of storage with annual 10TB increases, achieve 99.9% uptime, and include FedRAMP authorization (preferred). The place of performance is Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania 17013, and the contract is structured with a base year and four option years. Technical requirements include AI/ML integration, security compliance with DoD standards, ability to migrate existing data, and support for various multimedia formats. The contract will be awarded under NAICS category 519210 (Libraries and Archives) and PSC category DB10 (IT and Telecom - Compute as a Service), with a focus on creating a flexible, user-centric system for archival collection management and online discovery.
