Full Description

Vendors that respond to this notice will be invited to attend a virtual information exchange with the Government to learn more about this requirement. It is anticipated that the virtual information exchange will occur within the month of January 2026.

The Government requires a commercial service for the digitization of historical documents so they can be permanently stored in a single location that is easily searchable. There are currently two locations that contain the historical documents: 1) Building 876, second floor, contains two rooms that constitute the “Aeropropulsion Technical Library” and 2) Building 1103, second floor, contains between five (5) and seven (7) cubicles full of bookshelves, filing cabinets, boxes, and other containers.

Tasks associated with this project include: 1) organization of various materials between B876 and B1103, 2) development of a disposition plan for redundant materials, 3) coordination with the AEDC Historian’s office (HO) to see if any material should reside with the HO office, 4) digitization of all files (to include downloading CD information), 5) indexing the digitized files, and 6) creating a user-friendly searchable database to enable squadron personnel to search the database for potential files of interest.
