Loudoun County, Virginia is seeking proposals from firms specializing in providing materials for public libraries. The materials include adult trade hardcover books, juvenile trade hardcover books, reinforced library bindings, adult trade paperback books, adult mass market paperback books, juvenile paperback books, University Press books, Small Press books, DVD/Blu-rays, audiobooks (digital and on CD), and e-books. To obtain the largest possible range of materials and services, the county intends to award contracts to a pool of providers, with the size of the pool determined by the number and quality of proposals received. Depending upon the type of material or service required, the county will purchase the needed materials or services from the contractors who offer the best prices and services. Cataloging and processing services are optional; the inability to provide these services may not preclude an offeror from being selected as a pool provider. Exact and detailed specifications will be provided if necessary.
