The Library of Congress FEDLINK seeks digitization services on behalf of the Library of Congress Library Services, Veterans History Project, and the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
The agencies have selected bound volumes, archival documents, and photographic materials that require scanning.
The Contractor shall perform the digital imaging with staff experienced in handling and scanning library and archival collection materials. Derivative images and metadata will also be required. The Export-Import Bank requires processing files in preparation for upload to a CONTENTdm system.
Imaging requirements are driven by the most current version of the information capture specifications (sampling rate, tone/amplitude resolution, encoding, etc.), quality guidelines, and content categories and digitization objectives recommended by the Still Image Group of the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative ("FADGI"). A minimum performance level of 3 stars is required. Sample target files will be required prior to contract award. Once the project begins, the contractor will be required to submit targets on a daily basis.
Digital imaging will take place at Library of Congress and at the Contractor's facility. The Library will provide adequate space and infrastructure for the required equipment and
