Film Preservation Services List - RFI

The Library of Congress (Library) seeks information regarding film preservation services for an upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP). It is anticipated that the Library will award one or more Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a 5 year ordering term as a result of the upcoming competition. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to ask the film labs engaged in this specialized work to help the Library create a comprehensive list of the film preservation services they offer. The comprehensive Film Preservation Services List will form the basis of the future contract(s). Services not included on the Services List at the time of contract award may be out of scope for future orders against the IDIQ contract(s).

Vendors who specialize in film preservation activities are requested to review the attached Services List and suggest additional film preservation services which they can offer the Library. Prices will be considered later, during the RFP phase, and are not required at this time. A draft Statement of Work is also attached as a guide.

The vendors' amended Services List should be submitted via email to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer (gmac@loc.gov with a cc to jare@loc.gov) by the closing date of this announcement. The Library will review the suggestions and all approved services will be incorporated into the Film Preservation Services List to be published on fbo.gov as part of the upcoming RFP.
