The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives is soliciting a personal service contract through RFP-555-2600000432-1 to conduct a comprehensive five-year evaluation of Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funded programs covering the 2023–2027 cycle and to support the development of the 2028–2032 State Plan. The contract, anticipated to begin on July 1, 2026, and end on June 30, 2027, requires the vendor to design and execute an evaluation methodology, coordinate monthly check-ins with KDLA staff, and deliver a final evaluation report along with draft and final outlines of the new state plan. Key deliverables include data collected during the evaluation period, presentations to KDLA leadership, and resumes of key personnel demonstrating relevant experience. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service portal by 3:30 PM EST on June 5, 2026, in three separate volumes—Technical Proposal, Cost Proposal, and Proprietary Information—each capped at 65,000 KB and formatted in Word, Excel, or PDF with no hyperlinks or embedded external content. The evaluation will prioritize technical merit with 700 out of 1,000 total points allocated to the Technical Proposal, focusing on the detailed scope of services, firm history and experience, and implementation timeline; the Cost Proposal is worth 250 points, and an optional oral demonstration may earn up to 50 additional points. The award will be based on a best-value trade-off approach, not lowest price technically acceptable. The contractor must comply with Kentucky Revised Statutes, including KRS 45A.285, 45A.485, and 200 KAR 5:311, disclose any violations of tax, wage, or safety laws in the past five years, and prohibit the use of generative AI with confidential state data. Insurance requirements mandate minimum coverage of $1 million each for commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability, with insurers holding an AM Best rating of B+ or higher. The vendor must be registered with the Kentucky Secretary of State, and resident bidders or qualified nonprofits employing individuals with severe disabilities may receive preferential consideration under state-specific criteria. All communications, contract modifications, and invoice submissions must be processed through the designated point of contact
