About this opportunity
The Library of Congress has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source firm fixed-price contract to BASSEC, LLC for an extended warranty service agreement for the Packard Campus Theater in Culpeper, VA. The contract will cover maintenance and support for a custom theater screen and motorized masking system, with a performance period from June 15, 2025, to June 14, 2030. The contract is valued below the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000 but above the $25,000 public notice threshold. The notice was prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 for synopsis of proposed contract actions. This public notice serves as the only notification and will not be followed by additional award or justification notices.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to publicly announce the Library of Congress's sole-source contract award to BASSEC, LLC for comprehensive theater screen and masking system warranty services. The contract includes one annual maintenance visit, full repair coverage, help desk support, and yearly inspection of masking system components, including motors, tracks, screen, and fabric panels. Eligibility for this contract is limited to BASSEC, LLC, as they are the original designers and installers of the custom-integrated system. Contractors should note the strict work parameters, which include performing services between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with personnel requiring Library of Congress security clearance. The deadline for potential challenges to this sole-source award is March 12, 2025, and the contract will be published on SAM.gov for a 15-day review period. The justification for sole-source selection is based on BASSEC's unique qualifications to service the custom-integrated system without compromising its technical integrity.
