About this opportunity
The Library of Congress is seeking to procure 15 Merging Technologies HAPI MKIII analog converters with specific audio cards for the National Audiovisual Conservation Center (NAVCC) Audio Lab. This brand-name procurement is designed to support the preservation and digital reformatting of audio collections through high-quality analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. The solicitation (030ADV25Q0111) will be evaluated using a low-price, technically acceptable approach, with the award going to the responsible offeror who is an authorized Merging Technologies reseller and provides the lowest-priced technically compliant proposal. Offeror questions were due by March 31, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with final proposal responses required by April 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST. To be eligible for award, offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific small business category and will be performed in Washington, DC. The contract includes 15 base units with two types of audio cards: 15 ADO8V3P (8-channel analog-to-digital) and 15 DA8P3V (8-channel digital-to-analog), supporting high-resolution PCM and DSD encoding. The procurement is valued under $250,000, with a contract performance period from June 30, 2025, to June 29, 2026. The converters will replace existing 20+ year-old equipment and are critical for digitizing archival audio recordings at ultra-high sampling rates. A two-year manufacturer's warranty is included with the equipment, covering replacement of all parts and workmanship to maintain the base units in fully functional condition.
