AI Contract Overview
The Library of Congress, through its Contracts and Grants Directorate, intends to award a sole-source firm fixed price contract to NAZIRY, FARAMARZ, operating as FET Electronica, for the maintenance and repair of digital and analog audio playback and recording equipment at the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia. The contract, identified by solicitation number 2026-LGR-0058, will have a performance period from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2031, and is valued above $25,000 but below the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000. This action follows a sole-source justification under FAR 6.302-1(c), as FET Electronica is the only responsible source capable of repairing the obsolete, legacy audio equipment—including SONY PCM-R700, TASCAM DA88, and Alesis HD24 models—that requires specialized technical expertise, proprietary parts, and documented historical performance with the Library’s collection. The award is not subject to competitive solicitation, proposals, or option years, and no further public notices will be issued. The contract requires the contractor to return all repaired equipment within four to six weeks, provide a one-year warranty on parts and workmanship, and submit detailed repair logs. The Library covers outbound shipping, while the contractor is responsible for return shipping. Technical capability and prior performance with this specific equipment are the dominant selection criteria, with price evaluated only for reasonableness and not competitiveness. The contractor must employ technicians with at least three years of direct experience on these legacy systems, and all repairs must restore equipment to full operational quality consistent with the Library’s audio preservation standards. No small business, socioeconomic, or subcontracting plan certifications are applicable, and no specific packaging, labeling, or military standards are required. The Justification and Approval and Statement of Work are publicly available, fulfilling all public disclosure requirements under FAR 5.2, eliminating the need for post-award notices.
