Book and A/V Lease and Purchase Plans

This requirement supports two libraries located at Ramstein Air Base and Vogelweh Air Base in Germany. The scope includes five distinct plans: adult hardcover book leases, paperback book purchases, protected (laminated) paperback book purchases, DVD purchases for movies and television shows, and audiobooks on CD or Playaway formats.

The selected provider must offer a wide selection of classic and current titles and provide full processing for all materials, including spine labels, barcodes, plastic cases, book jackets or laminate, and downloadable MARC records. Additional requirements include free replacement of materials, free shipping, free retention or discounted pricing, and an online ordering system to track shipments and discount programs. This procurement is identified under solicitation number FA561319QA030 and falls under NAICS 424920 for Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers and PSC code 76.

The response deadline for this special notice is August 27, 2019. Although the place of performance is listed as the United States in the metadata, the service delivery is designated for Air Base locations in Germany. Interested parties may contact Diane Feguer to request a copy of the quote and price list or to address questions regarding the requirement.
