Library Book Vendors

Irving Independent School District (IISD) is seeking qualified vendors to supply a wide range of library materials—including trade books, e‑books, audiovisual items, and learning kits—for its K‑12 schools. The district anticipates annual purchases of roughly $600,000 and requires vendors to provide an online ordering portal, electronic order confirmations within five days, and delivery within 60 days (no backorders). Vendors must support cataloging standards (MARC, Dewey Decimal, LC Subject Headings), provide e‑book access without passwords for on‑site use, and submit monthly usage statistics. The contract is for one year with up to four one‑year extensions, and the award will be based on price (55 points) and how well the offering meets district needs (45 points). Required attachments include W‑9, EDGAR certifications, and various compliance forms. • Annual spend ≈ $600K • Online ordering & reporting required • Delivery within 60 days, freight prepaid • E‑book access & monthly usage reports • One‑year term, renewable up to four extensions
