RS Audio Digitization of Obsolete Formats (Intent to Sole Source)

The Library of Congress's National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) requires contract support for the preservation of historic World War II sound recordings stored on large-spool magnetic wire and obsolete audio formats. The objective of this contract is to secure high-quality digital transfers of these analog sound recordings. The contractor shall digitize all identified large-spool magnetic wires to produce audio files for the NAVACC digital archive. Some key points to consider: • The contract will support the completion of a project to digitize all large-spool magnetic wires held at NAVCC. • The contractor must have a unique capability to provide the proposed supplies and services, as the supplies and services are considered to be available from only one source. • The contractor must demonstrate the ability to satisfy all requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). • A test batch of ten complete sets of deliverables will be sent to LOC and approved before additional digitization continues. • The contractor must provide high-quality digital transfers of the analog sound recordings, following the quality standards outlined in the attachments.
