IFB 18-68 Scanning and Digitization of Election Archives

The state of Massachusetts has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the scanning and digitization of election archives in Suffolk County. The procurement is focused on the conversion of physical election records into a digital format for storage and archival purposes. Key objectives include high-quality scanning, indexing, and organizing the digital files for easy retrieval. Qualified bidders must demonstrate experience with large-scale digitization projects, expertise in election records management, and the ability to handle sensitive materials securely. The IFB is open for responses until May 22, 2018, and interested parties can download the full bid package from the provided website.

This opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can submit bids. No information is provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors. The IFB also does not specify a budget range or award value, though typical digitization projects of this scale can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the volume of records and complexity of the work.
