R -- FEDLINK Infmation Retrieval Services Delivery Order

The Library of Congress plans to issue delivery orders under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with netLibrary, Inc. to procure electronic books for the FEDLINK member ARLV. These e-books span various subject areas including business, technology, engineering, industry, science, mathematics, general topics, medicine, and allied health. The titles are delivered directly to users' desktops and accessed similarly to print books, with ownership retained by the member and hosting managed by netLibrary via an offsite server. The service is scheduled to continue through September 30, 2002. No solicitation document is available, and telephone inquiries will not be accepted; responses must be submitted in writing and include prices and technical information that demonstrate capability, although no awards will be based on offers received from this notice. The contract, designated as R -- FEDLINK Information Retrieval Services Delivery Order with solicitation number 02-ARLV-NE, is managed by the Library of Congress Fedlink office in Washington, DC. Points of contact for this delivery order include Contract Specialist Charles A. Wilson and Contracting Officer Joan M. Fitts. Additional information about the FEDLINK program and vendor enrollment is available on the Library of Congress website, and interested vendors are encouraged to reach out via provided contact details. The effort focuses on continuing access to electronic book collections for the specified member, facilitated through this streamlined delivery order process rather than a separate solicitation.
