Description
The National Park Service, on behalf of the U.S. Government Publishing Office, seeks a vendor to digitize approximately 10,883 microfiche cards (contained in five banker’s boxes) into high‑resolution, multi‑page PDF files. Work must preserve the original ordering, embed detailed scanning metadata, and be delivered via GPO’s secure file‑sharing platform by the contract deadline. No subcontracting is allowed; the contractor must handle all scanning, quality control, and return of original material.
• Scan at ≥ 4000 ppi, grayscale PDF (optional JPEG 2000 compression) – no OCR required.
• Embed custom metadata (scanner make/model, software, scan date/time, contractor name, etc.) in each PDF.
• Provide sample files for agency approval before full production; deliver in phased batches or by box/series.
• Pickup microfiche from NPS (Washington, DC) on or after June 16 2026; final electronic delivery due July 17 2026.
• One‑year warranty on work; all invoicing through GPO’s barcode coversheet system.
