Jeremy Markusic

Jeremy Markusic serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contracts Services office of the Library of Congress, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance the nation’s digital stewardship of cultural and intellectual heritage. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for information technology and media services critical to large-scale digitization, metadata management, and digital preservation initiatives. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance public access to archival collections through modernized technological infrastructure, with a focus on contracts for software systems, accessibility platforms, and multimedia preservation tools. Markusic maintains established relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including the Clovernook Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Accessibility Services Inc., and the University of Washington, reflecting a pattern of collaboration with institutions and firms possessing deep expertise in accessibility, archival digitization, and digital media services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term partnerships with organizations that bring niche technical capabilities in assistive technologies and cultural heritage preservation, often engaging entities with proven experience in federal library and archival environments. His procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and specialized capability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the Library’s need for highly specific, mission-critical solutions that require proven domain expertise rather than broad-based small business participation. Markusic’s primary NAICS focus areas include 721110 (hotels and motels), 713990 (amusement and recreation), 325992 (photographic film and chemical manufacturing), 337214 (office furniture), and 811412 (appliance repair), which, while seemingly disparate, correspond to legacy support contracts for facility operations, maintenance, and ancillary services that sustain the Library’s physical and digital infrastructure. His technical expertise lies in aligning non-core procurement categories with operational needs that enable core digital preservation missions.
