Cataloging Services

The Library of Congress FEDLINK program intends to issue an RFQ on or about May 16, 2012 on behalf of FEDLINK customer, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District (ACoE), to procure the cataloging and other technical processing services. The ACoE requires original and copy-cataloged bibliographic records for English and Spanish language print monographs and audiovisual materials. The tasks of the project to be performed by professionals include: 1) searching for available cataloging copy in outside bibliographic sources (e.g., OCLC) ; (2) applying the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition (AACR2)and Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs) to descriptive cataloging and creation and maintenance of name and series access points; 3) assigning Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) descriptors and classification numbers to each item using the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) scheme; (4) physical processing and shipping of materials; and (5) delivering electronic catalog records. The work shall be performed at the Contractor's site. All responses to the RFQ shall be in writing and shall include prices and technical data sufficient to determine capability. No telephone calls will be accepted. Ref: RFQ LC12QFC001. For further information on the Library of Congress' FEDLINK program, please visit the website at: http://www.loc.gov/flicc.
