About this opportunity
The Library of Congress, through its LC Labs Digital Strategy Directorate, is seeking community-focused co-creation consultation services for a public library digital experience program. The solicitation (030ADV25R0026) requires a contractor to consult on co-creation strategies, assess public library partner needs, facilitate engagement sessions, and collect and synthesize feedback from library staff and community stakeholders. The procurement will focus on two specific public library systems - one in northeastern Oklahoma and another in Cleveland, Ohio - with the goal of developing customized digital experiences. Evaluation criteria will prioritize corporate experience in community co-creation, technical approach quality, and local personnel engagement, with non-price factors considered significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted electronically by April 28, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT to the Contracting Officer Veronica Price and Contract Specialist Kevin Barnes.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and is classified under NAICS 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The firm-fixed-price contract is valued at $340,000, funded by a grant, with a base period from June 20, 2025, to June 19, 2026, and potential optional periods for additional services. The place of performance is Washington, DC 20540, with on-site work in Oklahoma and Ohio. The project will develop two distinct digital experiences: a lightweight digital experience for the Oklahoma site by February 2026 and a more technically ambitious experience with custom fabrication for the Cleveland site by December 2026. Contractors will be required to provide compensation for community members participating in co-creation activities, with a maximum rate of $100 per hour, and must adhere to specific accessibility standards throughout the project.
