Library Services Platform and Discovery System

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks to replace its legacy integrated library system with a new cloud-based library services platform and discovery system. The NOAA Central Library requires a solution comprising an LSP to support its 21 library locations, an electronic resources and license manager, and a discovery system to replace the existing online catalog. Responses are requested by June 25, 2021 for a five-page capabilities statement demonstrating relevant experience supporting similar implementations that integrate acquisitions, cataloging, circulation, serials management and other library functions in compliance with FedRAMP requirements.

There is no set-aside designated for this pre-solicitation notice. Interested vendors must submit capabilities statements by June 25, 2021 addressing their ability to provide the required products and services under NAICS code 519130 for libraries and archives along with their business size and any applicable socio-economic certifications for potential follow-up discussions within four weeks. The NOAA Central Library intends to issue a subsequent solicitation to procure these library services to replace its current system supporting over 21 library locations.
