Description

The Library of Congress, through the National Library Service for the Blind and Print-Disabled, seeks a contractor to develop and produce USB breath switches that let users control Digital Talking Book Machines with air pulses. The contractor must design the device and its technical data package, including the electronics, housing, mouth tube, and filter, and develop the tooling, production and test equipment, and procedures needed for manufacturing. The tubing must be food-safe silicone, and the device must meet the detailed technical, safety, environmental, electrical, and software requirements in Attachment J-3. Work includes a non-recurring engineering phase and full production, with first-article samples, verification and factory acceptance testing, quality-assurance planning, engineering change control, packaging, and ongoing production support. The solicitation requests a draft manufacturing and production plan with the proposal, a technical approach, corporate experience, past-performance references and questionnaires, and pricing for the five-year ordering period. The contract is a single-award IDIQ with a $10,000 minimum and a $3,000,000 ceiling; estimated quantities are not guaranteed.
