About this opportunity
The Library of Congress seeks multiple indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide commercial off-the-shelf electronic information resources and associated services through its FEDLINK program to federal agencies nationwide and worldwide. The solicitation is structured around four contract lots: Lot 1 for electronic resources and databases, Lot 2 for document delivery services, Lot 3 for associated publications (requiring Lot 1 participation), and Lot 4 for specialized access and product integration (requiring Lot 1 and/or Lot 2 participation). Contractors must meet qualification requirements including completion of pricing templates, technical questionnaires, and past performance questionnaires, along with submission of sample usage data and sales reports. Individual orders will be placed on a firm fixed price basis with cumulative values not exceeding defined contract maximums for each award. The original proposal deadline of April 21, 2023 was extended multiple times, with the final deadline set for May 15, 2023 at 9:00 AM EST, and inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Holly Le at heva@loc.gov or Contract Specialist Elinda Deans at ehar@loc.gov.
This solicitation includes no small business or other set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the available documents. The contract period of performance runs for one base year plus four one-year option periods from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028, with pricing to be proposed as firm fixed prices for the base and option years. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation notice, each contract will have a defined maximum cumulative value not to be exceeded by individual orders. The solicitation does not identify a specific quantity of resources or services but rather establishes an open ordering mechanism for federal agencies to procure electronic resources as needed throughout the contract period. The place of performance is identified as Washington, DC 20540, USA, with the Library of Congress serving as the administering agency for the FEDLINK program.
