AI Contract Overview

The National Technical Information Service (NTIS), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is seeking firms capable of providing backup services for its Anacomp Imaging System, which produces electronic images on 105mm microfiche. This system supports a subscription model where tailored government publications and reports are copied onto microfiche based on customer-selected topics. The service issues two publications each month and handles approximately 300,000 orders annually, with each order typically containing multiple 4X6 microfiche sheets holding up to 98 images per sheet. Due to logistical considerations, preference is given to firms located within Washington, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia for courier efficiency, although this is not a strict requirement. The agency emphasizes prompt responses due to the aging status of the Anacomp system and plans to establish an annual contract, though it may initiate service with a smaller order initially. Interested vendors are instructed not to respond to the Gaithersburg, Maryland office address listed in the announcement but to contact the designated contracting officer, Michael Scheuchenzuber, via email or fax in Springfield, Virginia. This solicitation primarily aims to determine the availability of capable backup service providers to ensure continuity of operations for the Anacomp system.

Full Description

The National Technical Information Service (NTIS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is seeking interested firms to provide backup service to our Anacomp Imaging System (XF23-XP MOD III 440PPM) which outputs electronic images to 105mm microfiche. The nature of our Anacomp system is to provide a subscription service of preselected subject topics copied to microfiche. The microfiche data is tailored information delivering complete copies of Government publications/reports based on the customer's needs. Producing two issues per month we average nearly 300,000 orders annually. Each order contains multiple sheets of 4X6 mircofiche which holds up to 98 images per sheet. Because of logistics, interested firms within Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia are preferred for courier purposes but not necessarily required. Special Note: Please do not respond to the address in the Contracting Office Address listed in this announcement. We are located in Springfield, Virginia, not Gaithersburg, Maryland. Please send all information to contact@example.gov. You may also use FAX: +1 (555) 000-0000 Attn: Michael Scheuchenzuber. Mr. Scheuchenzuber's telephone number is +1 (555) 000-0000. We would like firms to respond ASAP, as the Anacomp system is getting old and we may need backup service very soon. An annual contract is being contemplated but we may issue a smaller order to get started. The main purpose of this announcement is to determine whether there are firms which can provide us the service which we need.
