Opportunity Summary

The National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine (NLM) issued solicitation 75N97020R00017 to establish one or more competitive Blanket Purchase Agreements for the digitization and preservation of various film and tape media. The NLM requires external services to clean, treat, repair, and digitally preserve its holdings, as the library lacks the in-house capacity to handle its range of audiovisual formats. The scope of work includes transferring film of various gauges and magnetic media—including video, audio, and tape—into high-quality digital formats to serve both preservation and patron access requirements.

This procurement is designated as an SBA (SBA) set-aside under NAICS 512199, Other Motion Picture and Video Industries, and PSC T016, PHOTO/MAP/PRINT/PUBLICATION- AUDIO/VISUAL. Responses are due by September 3, 2020, and all offers must be submitted through the NIH Electronic Contract Proposal System. Documentation supporting this solicitation includes nine attachments, such as a revised statement of work, specific task requirements for VHS preservation, sample film and videotape metadata, and multiple sets of questions and answers. LaDonna Stewart-Roberts is the designated point of contact for this requirement.

The agency intends to engage vendors with specific experience in audiovisual media preservation, including cleaning, repair, digitization, and the development of masters. Interested offerors must provide detailed responses to demonstrate their qualifications to perform the specialized technical work described in the statement of work. The government reserves the right to use non-proprietary information from these responses to inform its final requirements.
