Library Online Design

The Department of the Air Force, through the 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron in San Antonio, Texas, is seeking industry input for a Library Online Design program to enhance promotion of library collections, programs, and services across all branches of the Department of Defense. The program requires a digital platform offering customizable templates for print and email use, enabling libraries to create flyers, newsletters, social media posts, bookmarks, shelf talkers, and website widgets without requiring advanced design skills. The system must integrate seamlessly with existing DoD libraries infrastructure, particularly the Novelist system, and support secure, authenticated access for patrons from the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Military OneSource. Technical requirements include implementation of TLS 1.3 and HTTP Strict Transport Security with RSA 2048-bit SHA256withRSA encryption certificates, mobile functionality, and automated reporting of usage statistics segmented by service branch. The platform must also connect to the LibraryWorld OPAC via password-embedded URLs and provide test credentials for government evaluation. The procurement is currently in the market research phase as a sources-sought notice, with a response deadline of July 29, 2026, and submissions must be sent unclassified via email to designated points of contact. Offerors are required to provide their CAGE or UEI code, declare their size status under NAICS code 516210 with a $47 million threshold, and indicate any applicable socioeconomic certifications such as WOSB, 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or VOSB. If responding as a small business and seeking set-aside consideration, compliance with FAR 52.219-14 on limitation on subcontracting must be demonstrated. The potential contract, if awarded, would have a base period running from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2027, with three one-year option periods extending through September 29, 2030. Performance will be remote, with the contracting office located in San Antonio, Texas, and acceptance criteria centered on functional integration, security compliance, and accurate reporting capabilities. No pricing information is included in this notice, as this is not a solicitation but a request for industry feedback to shape future acquisition decisions.
