About this opportunity
The Library of Congress intends to issue a sole-source firm fixed price award to Progressive Technology Federal Systems, Inc., for its Bibliovation library services platform serving the Defense Intelligence Agency Library, with responses due by August 6, 2026. This is a notice of intent only and does not constitute a solicitation; no contract will be awarded based on responses received. The award will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Products.
Bibliovation is a web-based search platform that consolidates physical and digital library resources into a single search interface. The anticipated period of performance is a base year with four one-year options.
All sources eligible to meet the requirement may submit written responses demonstrating comparable capability with strong and convincing evidence within fifteen calendar days of publication. A request for documentation alone will not constitute an affirmative response. If no responses demonstrating comparable capability are received within the fifteen-day window, the sole-source acquisition will proceed.
Responses must be directed to Katherine Bowen, Contracting Officer, at katbowen@loc.gov and fedlinkcontracts@loc.gov.
