The Naval Postgraduate School's Dudley Knox Library requires specialized services for its DSpace-based institutional repository, "Calhoun," which functions as a mission-critical archive for scholarly and institutional records and holds over 71,000 items. Services needed include major platform upgrades, configuration management, security patching, and technical support to ensure the repository remains secure, stable, and functional.
The contract scope covers ongoing maintenance, support, and adaptation of numerous NPS-specific customizations and modules vital to the library's operations. Only a registered Duraspace Service Provider can satisfy agency requirements, and this contract is intended to maintain the integrity and reliability of the Calhoun repository.
The awarded provider is expected to plan and execute software upgrades, manage configurations, address security concerns, and provide continuous technical support tailored to the unique needs of the Naval Postgraduate School's repository infrastructure.
