About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory's Research Reports Library, operating under the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, is seeking to replace its legacy digital asset management system with a modern, secure, cloud-based library management solution. The procurement targets commercial off-the-shelf or near-commercial software capable of handling both classified and unclassified technical reports while maintaining compatibility with SIPRNet infrastructure. Key requirements include advanced cataloging capabilities, comprehensive user management systems, robust search functionality, analytics tools, and strict compliance with National Industrial Security Program standards for handling classified materials. Interested vendors must submit responses by October 16, 2025, including company contact information, business size classifications, technical capabilities, relevant prior experience, pricing estimates, and any questions regarding the draft Statement of Work. Responses should be emailed directly to the designated Contract Specialist, as this pre-solicitation notice serves planning purposes only and does not guarantee future contract award.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and will be open to full and open competition among qualified contractors. The system must manage an extensive digital collection comprising over 716,500 catalog entries and 88,000 digital files totaling approximately 250GB of storage capacity. The solution will serve roughly 1,000 end users while supporting five administrative staff members in their daily operations. The contract structure envisions a five-year implementation and operational period, though specific budget ranges or award values have not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase. The procurement falls under NAICS code 519210 for Libraries and Archives and PSC code 7A21 for IT and Telecommunications Business Application Software, indicating the government's focus on acquiring specialized library management technology rather than general IT services.
