DESCRIPTION
The procuring organization seeks a reputable vendor to provide a fully hosted, cloud-based library resource management system supporting districtwide library operations, resource management, literacy initiatives, and equitable access to learning resources. The solution should serve students, educators, librarians, administrators, and district staff through cataloging, circulation, inventory management, digital resource integration, reporting and analytics, user management, and discovery services.
The system must include visual library mapping functionality to help students locate materials in physical libraries through interactive maps or location-based guidance. It must use contemporary, secure, and redundant infrastructure; integrate with PowerSchool through automated methods such as Secure File Transfer Protocol; support importing and exporting data in multiple formats, including Microsoft Excel; and provide role-based export controls with detailed logging. Vendors must also indicate whether their infrastructure is Post Quantum Cryptography ready and whether relevant National Institute of Standards and Technology protocols have been implemented for data protection.
The proposed web-based solution should provide contemporary user interfaces and browser-based access without additional software. It must support Single Sign-On through Microsoft Azure Active Directory for network users and may also need to provide authorization services. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 19, 2026, and questions must be submitted by that date.
