RFI-2502BM Library Catalog Software for Library Media Centers

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), one of the largest school systems in the country, is seeking information on Library Catalog Software for its 142 school library media centers and approximately 182,000 students. GCPS has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather details from service providers on software that can meet their detailed functional, technology, strategy, and training/implementation requirements. The RFI outlines features such as basic and advanced search, circulation management, reporting, administrative settings, and integration with GCPS systems. Responses to the RFI are due by 9:00 AM EST on November 13, 2024 through the Bonfire Interactive online portal. GCPS will review the RFI responses but does not intend to enter into a contractual agreement based on this RFI. The agency may issue a more detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) in the future to solicit solutions. Respondents are required to provide references and may be invited to provide a demonstration or interview at GCPS's discretion.

This RFI is open to all qualified service providers, and GCPS has not indicated any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any details about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFI does not specify any award values or budget ranges, as this is an information-gathering phase, and any future procurement would be subject to separate solicitation and evaluation processes.
