This is for an award for less than the simplified acquisition threshold.
The Library of Congress requires urgent contract support for the systematic harvesting of web content to ensure long-term preservation and public access. This requirement, identified under solicitation number 2026-LGD-0139, involves capturing content based on agency instructions, providing temporary access and crawl reports for quality review, and transferring data to the Library. The work is classified under NAICS 518210 for Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services and PSC DK10 for IT AND TELECOM - STORAGE AS A SERVICE.
The Library is pursuing this acquisition as a sole-source award for less than the simplified acquisition threshold to bridge a service gap caused by a Stop Work Order on a previous award following a protest. This bridge contract is necessary to maintain operations during a critical period that includes the 2026 U.S. Elections. Performance is located in Washington, DC, and there is no set-aside designated for this action.
The response deadline for this Special Notice is June 26, 2026. The agency has provided one attachment, a redacted Justification and Approval (JA) for Other than Full and Open Competition, to outline the rationale for the sole-source selection. Colleen Daly is the designated point of contact for this notice, which was published on June 17, 2026.
