Description
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requires a contractor to digitize approximately 30,000 mineral‑survey index cards stored in 48 boxes. The work involves off‑site scanning to PDF/A format, applying OCR, adhering to strict naming conventions, and returning the original cards plus a portable hard‑drive with the final files. The contractor must also provide electronic proofs of the first 30 files, maintain chain‑of‑custody, and submit a security/production plan.
• Scan ~30,000 single‑sided index cards at 300 ppi, black‑and‑white PDF/A with OCR.
• Follow exact file‑naming conventions (numeric and alphabetical indexes) and deliver searchable PDFs.
• Manage pickup (June 8 2026) and delivery (by Dec 1 2026) of original cards, include all originals and one hard‑drive in the final shipment.
• Submit a Schedule of Pricing, proofs, and a written chain‑of‑custody/production plan; all costs (pickup, transport, drive) must be included in the quote.
