Mohave is seeking proposals to establish a contract for the procurement of library books, eReaders, periodicals, database subscriptions, and related materials to serve its statewide membership of approximately 480 public agencies in Arizona. The contract aims to achieve economies of scale by consolidating purchasing efforts, with an initial term of one year and the possibility of four additional one-year extensions. The scope specifies the desired quality and characteristics of the materials, based on known standards for acceptable manufacturers, publishers, and brands, but encourages offerors to propose alternative solutions that meet the same quality and performance criteria, subject to Mohave’s review and approval. Participation in the contract is open to current eligible members as of December 16, 2024, with provisions for additional members to join during the contract term, provided their volume does not significantly alter the original scope. The solicitation emphasizes competitive bidding, with a response deadline of January 23, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between five and twenty million dollars, and the project is managed by MESC, an organization serving Arizona public agencies. Key contact for the solicitation is Michael Nentwig, reachable via email or phone, and further details are accessible through the provided online procurement portal.
