The National Library of Medicine (NLM) on behalf of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to solicit and award a competitive contract. The National Library of Medicine's (NLM) long term preservation goals are to place the film in carefully managed and closely monitored storage conditions that provide the ranges of temperature and relative humidity recommended for their extended term survival, protect them from exposure to airborne particulate matter and pollutants, and guarantee that copies will be available to create replacements in the event that copies stored at NLM are lost, damaged, or destroyed. Cold storage is critical for reducing the rate at which acetate motion picture film deteriorates. Cold storage also significantly reduces the rate at which color film dyes fade.
