The U.S. Congress created the National Recording Preservation Board (NRPB) through the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-474); the legislation was reauthorized most recently in 2016 (PL114-217). The U.S. Congress created the National Film Preservation Board (NFPB) through the National Film Preservation Act of 1988 (PL100-446); Congress most recently reauthorized the NFPB in 2016 (PL114-217). As part of Public Law 114-217, the United States Congress has mandated that the Library of Congress (LOC): 1) “implement a comprehensive national recording preservation program”, 2) “carry out the comprehensive national film preservation program for motion pictures established under the National Film Preservation Act” and 3) “review the comprehensive national film preservation plan, and amend it to the extent necessary.” The LOC will fulfill the above Congressional mandates by implementing selected recommendations found in the National Recorded Sound Preservation Plan and the National Film Preservation Plan. These Congressionally-mandated efforts far exceed the capacity of LOC staff and the LOC seeks contractor support to fulfill these mandates. The Library will fulfill this mandate by working with an experienced Contractor who can successfully complete these items or a Contractor who can work with experienced subcontractors in necessary fields to successfully complete these items. The Contractor shall implement the National Recording Plan recommendations, as well as implement and update sections of the National Film Preservation Plan recommendations in order to satisfy U.S. Congress mandates under Public Law 114-217. Please see the attached solicitation document for more information.
