About this opportunity
The Library of Congress is seeking a Business Management Platform Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to license, maintain, configure, and support a cloud-based business management platform comprising approximately 38 existing applications and integrations across the Library's service units. The procurement is structured around two primary task orders: Task Order 1 covers licensing, hosting, and implementation services, while Task Order 2 addresses ongoing operations, maintenance, and enhancements. Offerors may propose the existing Solutions Business Manager Software (SBM) by OpenText or submit alternative solutions that address development and transition of existing applications, though any non-SBM proposal must include a comprehensive implementation plan with a transition period not exceeding six months and demonstrate minimal system downtime. The Library will evaluate proposals across four volumes: System and Experience (including system solution overview and corporate experience with at least two relevant projects), Technical Approach (maximum 45 pages), Price Proposal using provided templates, and Solicitation Acknowledgement with required signed amendments. The original proposal submission deadline of February 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST reflects multiple amendments extending the deadline, and all offerors must acknowledge receipt of all five amendments (0001 through 0005) and submit signed copies with their proposals.
This is an unset-aside competitive negotiated acquisition with a current incumbent contractor, Micro Focus Government Solutions LLC, holding two predecessor contracts valued at approximately $6.68 million combined (LCCIO22C0039 valued at $5,960,964.62 and LCCIO23C0003 valued at $723,990.88). The IDIQ contract maintains a five-year base period with a five-year option, running through March 27, 2036, with Task Order 1 effective from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031, and Task Order 2 effective from March 28, 2026, through March 27, 2031. Labor-hour pricing will be based on contractor-proposed labor categories aligned with the IDIQ pricing rates, and Task Order 2 pricing must correlate with specific labor categories including Project Manager (designated as Key Personnel) and Application Configuration Level III, with estimated hours and costs required for each sprint and contract period. The place of performance is Washington, DC 20540, with the Library of Congress serving as both the procuring agency and location for service delivery given the mission-critical nature of daily application access and system requirements.

Executive Summary
The Library has a continued requirement to license, maintain, configure, and support a
cloud-based business management platform, which includes approximately 38 existing
applications and integrations (see Attachment J3) for the Library’s various service units
(see Attachment J2). The platform must provide a system that is compatible with the
Library’s Enterprise Architecture and IT security directive. The existing system is the
Solutions Business Manager Software (SBM) provided by OpenText. The Library will be
utilizing FAR 11.104, Brand Name or Equal to communicate that the Library’s salient
characteristics are firm requirements. Information pertaining to the Brand Name or Equal
Salient Characteristics may be found in the Attachment J12 document and the Attachment
J3 Existing Applications and Integrations Descriptions and Diagrams. The existing
applications and integrations document (J3) is provided to potential offerors who intend to
propose a different solution than what is currently running at the Library.
Any viable offer differing from SBM must address the development and transition of the
Library’s existing service unit applications (Attachment J2). Due to the sensitivity and daily
access requirements, down-time would need to be at a minimum. The Library is open to
receiving offers that require a transition period, but this period should not exceed 6-
months. An Implementation plan and project management plan describing the work, time,
and effort (LOE) is required for any solution other than SBM Software. For any transition, the
Library will work with the awardee to prioritize the existing workflows and application within
the existing system. A Labor-hour CLIN on Task Order 1 is provided to allow for the
communication and fluctuation required for this type of unknown work. The contractor
must provide a reasonable estimation and cost for such an implementation. Costs for this
CLIN will be compared to the existing software implementation (duration, and cost)
escalated to present day to determine reasonableness. IDIQ labor rates and licensing
costs will be held firm for a 5-year procurement period with the option for an additional 5-
year period.
Offerors must propose their recommended system for Task Order 1 for which the offeror is
an authorized reseller and identify the original manufacturer of the offeror’s system
solution. Offerors must indicate whether they would accept an IDIQ contract award for
Performance areas 2 and 3 (Task Order 2), if offering the same system solution as the
offeror awarded Performance Area 1. Performance areas are summarized below:
Performance Area 1: Business Management Platform Licenses, Cloud Hosting, Upgrades,
and Maintenance
Performance Area 2: Platform Application Configuration, Maintenance, and Enhancements
Performance Area 3: Platform Application Development
The Library’s goal is to have a single or multiple Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
type contracts that can support the licensing, hosting, platform upgrades and
maintenance, configuration enhancements, configurations/development, and support
activities which will be defined at the order level on a Firm Fixed-Price or Labor-Hour basis.
The Library looks forward to a healthy competitive environment and welcomes you to
review the solicitation attached.
Interested contractors shall review all attachments and adhere to the solicitation guidlines, 030ADV26R0003.
