About this opportunity
The Library of Congress has awarded a sole-source contract to Axiell ALM Canada Inc. under contract LCLGR26P0019 on August 13, 2026, for operations and maintenance of its Axiell software products supporting the Audio Visual Collection Management System.
The contracting officer justified the sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1, citing that only Axiell possesses the unique capability to maintain the Library's existing implementation. The AVCMS serves as the authoritative repository for 13 million metadata records and manages ingest and archival workflows for the American Folklife Center, Veterans History Project, and Music Division. The platform comprises two commercial Axiell products—Collections and Flow software—each configured with LC-specific metadata schemas, 28 data object types, 13 million catalog records, 1 million supporting records, 19 workflow definitions, and 64 web forms. No alternative commercial-off-the-shelf solution exists that can ingest the existing database or maintain the 1.3 petabyte annual throughput without substantial custom development. Migration to a competing vendor would require an estimated 3 or more years for implementation and integration, creating operational risk and a potential 400-terabyte processing backlog. The new contract period runs from September 19, 2026, through September 18, 2028, succeeding the prior contract LCLSC20C0014, which commenced in April 2020. Place of performance is the National Audiovisual Conservation Center. The contract value was not disclosed.
