Copyright Clearance

The Library of Congress FEDLINK Program seeks to establish a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) to provide copyright compliance services for FEDLINK customers. CCC, a not-for-profit organization founded in response to the Copyright Act of 1976, acts as an authorized agent for more than 9,200 registered publishers, facilitating authorized use of copyrighted materials—covering over 1.75 million titles—by ensuring all usage complies with legal requirements. This arrangement is designed to streamline permissions for using copyrighted works, including photocopies, in accordance with the Act. The solicitation, identified as LCFDL13R7600, was posted on May 8, 2013, by the Library of Congress Fedlink office in Washington, DC. Interested parties must submit written responses with pricing and technical information within fifteen calendar days from the notice date; however, no solicitation documents will be issued, and telephone inquiries are not permitted. Responses will not result in an award based on this notice alone. Points of contact for this effort include Contract Specialist Charles A. Wilson and Contracting Officer Joan M. Fitts, accessible via email and phone through the Library of Congress FEDLINK office.
