This is a combined synopsis/solicitation being issued under the authority of FAR 13.5. This competition is for the addition of vendors to existing multiple award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts per the terms set forth at the time of the original competition and award. Please see the attached RFP Recompete for Additional Vendors and other attachments for additional information. The Library of Congress (Library) requires contract support to transcribe musical documents into braille. The Music Section of the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) is required to acquire new titles for its music collection each year in accessible formats: braille, large print, and audio. This can be done through contracts with individual transcribers, authors, commercial companies, or other appropriate producers. Materials in braille format (which is what this contract effort focuses on) include instructional materials, music appreciation materials, and sheet music specifically designed for people who are blind or visually impaired. NLS acquires these materials for its music collection so that they can be made available to NLS patrons. Conractors transcribed and/or proofread musical documents into braille and/or review digital braille music volumes for accuracy.
