About this opportunity
The National Transportation Library (NTL), operating under the Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary, is conducting market research for a digital repository platform system to manage and provide public access to its digital collections. The procurement seeks Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions or development services capable of supporting comprehensive cataloging, public-facing interfaces, and administrative functions. Key requirements include compliance with FAIR Principles, support for persistent identifiers (ORCIDs, DOIs, RORs, NAICs, and ARKs), OAI-PMH support, FedRAMP authorization, PIV card login capability, and OMB M-23-22 digital-first compliance. The government will evaluate vendor responses based on technical capabilities across four structured categories: General Requirements (cataloging, APIs, reporting, analytics), Cataloging Interface Requirements (metadata management, controlled vocabularies), Public Interface Requirements (search, filtering, export capabilities), and Administrative, Security, and Technology Requirements (access management, security standards, development environments). Interested vendors must submit completed questionnaires and supporting documentation by April 30, 2026.
This is a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, restricting competition to small business concerns. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the market research phase, as this is a sources-sought notice designed to gather vendor capability information before formal solicitation. The government has not indicated a specific timeline for contract award or service implementation. Vendors should note that the questionnaire requires detailed narratives addressing technical capabilities and must include company information, points of contact, and UEI registration from sam.gov as part of their response.
