Elizabeth Moehlenbrock

Elizabeth Moehlenbrock serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contracts Services office of the Library of Congress, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that advance the nation’s digital stewardship of cultural and intellectual heritage. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for information technology and media services critical to large-scale digitization, metadata systems, and digital preservation infrastructure. Her work directly supports the Library’s mission to ensure public access to archived materials through modern, scalable, and accessible technological solutions, with a focus on complex, mission-critical contracts requiring technical precision and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Moehlenbrock maintains long-standing relationships with key contractors including Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Utah State Library Division, Castro & Company, LLC, Accessibility Services Inc., and the University of Washington. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, mission-aligned vendors with demonstrated expertise in accessibility, archival digitization, and technical consulting. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaborative, performance-based engagements that prioritize outcome-driven deliverables over commoditized goods. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on full-and-open competition, with no set-asides utilized in recent awards. This underscores a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and mission fit, rather than socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contracting patterns remain open to qualified small businesses competing on an equal footing. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Architectural Services (541310) for facility-related IT infrastructure, Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (532420) for specialized media and digitization hardware, and Computer Systems Design Services (541512) for digital preservation platforms. She also frequently procures executive search and technical consulting services to support workforce and systems modernization, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of cultural heritage and advanced information technology.
