About this opportunity
The Library of Congress, through its Contracts and Grants Directorate, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source firm fixed price contract to Endpoint Audio Labs for the acquisition of an Optical Turntable System. This Special Notice, posted on February 5, 2026, with a deadline of February 20, 2026, constitutes the only public notice for this contracting action. The contract value falls below the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000 but exceeds the $25,000 public notice threshold. The work will be performed at the Library of Congress, and the period of performance extends for 12 months from the date of award. This announcement serves to publicly notify interested parties of the Library's sole-source determination and to synopsize the requirements in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
The Library of Congress requires one Endpoint Optical Turntable System to support the preservation and accessibility of its Recorded Sound Collection at the National Audiovisual Conservation Center Audio Lab in Culpeper, Virginia. The system has been identified as uniquely capable of fulfilling the Library's archival requirements, particularly for processing damaged analog discs, including tens of thousands of cracked or delaminating records that cannot be transferred using traditional stylus playback methods. Deliverables include the equipment itself, training upon delivery, and a three-year manufacturer warranty, with payment due upon delivery and shipping provided by the contractor. The contractor must provide customer service support throughout the contract duration and respond to Library inquiries within 48 hours. This is a sole-source procurement with no competitive solicitation; proposals are not being requested from other parties, and no further notices will be issued regarding this contracting action.
