AI Contract Overview

The Library of Congress is seeking a contractor to modernize the historic Coolidge Auditorium’s theatrical rigging control system, which has been nonfunctional for over a year. Installed in the 1990s by Wenger/JR Clancy, the existing system features outdated, distributed control points, inconsistent motor behavior, and minimal system intelligence, with components now operating only through standalone manual overrides. The goal is to replace the failed control unit and consolidate all scattered rigging subsystems into a unified, interoperable control environment while preserving the auditorium’s historic integrity, structural constraints, and acoustic design. Work must adhere to strict preservation standards typical of protected performance venues, ensuring no compromise to the building’s heritage features during installation or integration. The solicitation, numbered 030ADV26R0048, was posted on August 6, 2026, with responses due by August 26, 2026. It falls under NAICS code 334310 and is not subject to any set-aside provisions. The contract will be executed in Washington, D.C., with primary point of contact Olexiy Levchuk and secondary contact Moji Adejuwon available for inquiries. The project requires full removal of the legacy system and deployment of a new, centralized, intelligent rigging control platform capable of supporting the auditorium’s evolving performance and event needs while maintaining the historic character of the 485-seat venue originally designed for chamber music.

Full Description

Show more

The Library of Congress (Library) requires contract support to modernize the theatrical rigging control systems for the historic Coolidge Auditorium.  The 485-seat venue opened in the 1920’s, designed with acoustic properties to support chamber music.  The venue began to support other types of performances, in addition to other types of events.  To support increased use, modernization was performed in the mid-1990’s which added motorized theatrical rigging and automation.  The legacy infrastructure and system added in the 1990’s was installed by Wenger/JR Clancy, and is characterized by distributed control points, variable motor behavior, and limited system intelligence.  The control unit for the system has been inoperable for over a year.  The installed infrastructure reflects a rigging ecosystem in which motorized scenic elements were deployed as semi-independent subsystems with limited interoperability and with centralized control unit.   At present, these subsystems can only be operated using standalone manual override stations, which are still operable for each component.  This modernization effort is intended to unify these systems into a single theater rigging control environment and replace the non-working control unit.  All work shall comply with historic preservation constraints, structural limitations, and restricted installation practices typical of protected performance venues.


The Contractor shall remove the current theatrical rigging control system and provide a new theatrical rigging control system for the Library’s Coolidge Auditorium.

The Library of Congress intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to RealSAM Inc./RealThing.ai for a five-year period to provide up to 5,000 new RealSAM dialog licenses and ongoing technical support for 5,000 legacy licenses already in use. The work will be performed at the contractor’s facilities and includes comprehensive support such as system maintenance, documentation, and compliance with federal regulations.

The contract will support the National Library Service for the Blind and Print-Disabled in delivering accessible services to its users through the RealSAM dialog platform. No competitive bidding will be conducted, as this is a sole-source acquisition justified under existing procurement authority, and this notice serves as the only public announcement required under FAR 5.2. The Justification and Approval for sole-source selection has been publicly posted in advance of award, eliminating the need for a post-award disclosure. Potential vendors may submit capability statements for review, but the Library is under no obligation to modify its procurement approach unless compelling evidence is presented.

Audio System Modernization
Solicitation # 030ADV26R0049
The Library of Congress is seeking a contractor to design and implement a comprehensive digital audio system modernization for the historic Coolidge Auditorium, a 485-seat venue originally built in 1925 for chamber music performances. The existing analog infrastructure, upgraded in the 1990s but now largely nonfunctional, will be entirely replaced with a modern, permanently installed digital system to eliminate the need for temporary, portable equipment brought in for each event. The project involves removing obsolete wiring and equipment, installing new audio hardware and technical furniture, programming the system using Q-SYS technology, and delivering detailed wiring diagrams in standardized formats. All work must adhere to strict security protocols, including compliance with NIST SP 800-53 for Controlled Unclassified Information, encryption using FIPS 140-3 validated standards, and mandatory annual IT security training for all personnel. The contractor must ensure seamless integration with the auditorium’s original acoustics and complete all deliverables within the base performance period of September 29, 2026, to September 28, 2027, followed by a mandatory one-year warranty period. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with no set-aside or socioeconomic preferences mandated, though offerors must submit detailed technical and price proposals in separate volumes via email under strict formatting requirements—8.5x11 inch pages, Times New Roman 12-point font, no hyperlinks, and no zipped or password-protected files, with submissions capped at 20MB per email. Evaluation will prioritize technical approach, including feasibility of the proposed design and qualifications of key personnel who must hold CTS certification and have demonstrated experience managing similar audiovisual integrations, followed by corporate experience and past performance, with price considered but deemed significantly less important than non-price factors. The contractor must comply with extensive security mandates including employee fitness requirements, mandatory nonsigning of NDAs, reporting of subcontractors in advance and annually, and immediate notification of any security incidents. Deliveries to the Capitol Hill Campus require advance notification to the Off-Site Delivery Center, adherence to vehicle clearance limits, and prior authorization from the U.S. Capitol Police. Invoicing is exclusively electronic through the Invoice Processing Portal, and all deliverables must be clearly marked with the contract number, contractor information, and recipient details as dictated by Library-specific clauses. All proposals must be submitted by August 25, 2026, following a site visit and revised question
