    JA_Lasergraphics Scanstation Support_Redacted.pdf
    The Library of Congress seeks to award a contract for service and support of its Lasergraphics 5K+ Scan Station, a pivotal system for digitizing motion picture films. Due to its unique capabilities and proprietary nature, full and open competition is not feasible, as Lasergraphics is the sole provider qualified to maintain the equipment. The estimated contract period spans from May 15, 2025, to May 14, 2029. Justification for non-competitive contracting includes the necessity of specialized skills and parts exclusively available from Lasergraphics, ensuring the integrity of the digitization process. The Library aims to focus on maintaining existing hardware rather than incurring costs for replacement systems, which would be unnecessary. Efforts are being made to explore future competition opportunities by engaging with other potential service providers in the audiovisual preservation sector. The contracting officer certifies the rationale is accurate and aligns with federal procurement guidelines, confirming that this arrangement represents the best value for the Library's digitization efforts.
