Roslyne Atilus

Roslyne Atilus supports the Contracts Services office at the Library of Congress in executing strategic procurements that advance the nation’s digital stewardship of cultural and intellectual heritage. She manages the acquisition of specialized information technology and media services critical to large-scale digitization, metadata enrichment, and digital preservation initiatives. Her work ensures the Library’s collections remain accessible, searchable, and sustainable for future generations, with a focus on software solutions that enable cataloging, accessibility compliance, and archival infrastructure modernization. Atilus operates within a mission-driven procurement environment that prioritizes technical precision, regulatory compliance, and long-term system interoperability. Her primary contractor relationships include Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired, Utah State Library Division, Castro & Company, LLC, Accessibility Services Inc., and the University of Washington. These partnerships reflect a deliberate emphasis on institutions and vendors with deep expertise in accessibility, digital archiving, and specialized library systems. Atilus cultivates collaborative, long-term engagements with organizations that bring niche technical capabilities in assistive technologies, metadata standards, and digital preservation frameworks, often working through non-traditional procurement pathways to meet unique federal mission needs. Atilus’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the Library’s need for highly specialized, mission-critical solutions that may not be widely available among small business vendors. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her approach ensures fair competition among all qualified entities. Her contracting activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers), underscoring her specialization in procuring custom and commercial off-the-shelf software for digital library systems. This includes content management platforms, accessibility-compliant user interfaces, metadata extraction tools, and digital preservation middleware—all essential to sustaining the Library’s evolving technological infrastructure.
