Library Data Platform and Survey Solution

The agency is seeking a comprehensive library data platform and survey solution to manage public library data collection, integration, analysis, and reporting. This initiative aims to standardize library data reporting across the state system while establishing a future-proof foundation for evidence-based decision-making. The project covers library circulation, collection management, and user statistics to demonstrate the overall value and impact of public library services. The platform must centralize diverse data sources to ensure data integrity, accessibility, and security. The agency requires advanced analytical capabilities to optimize resource allocation and enhance patron services through a data quality improvement and longitudinal analysis initiative. This integrated system will serve as the primary tool for statewide data management and comprehensive analysis. Bidders must be United States organizations to meet eligibility requirements. The agency allows for offsite performance of all work related to the platform implementation and support. Proposals must be submitted digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently seeking budget proposals rather than providing a fixed funding amount. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than May 29, 2026. The evaluation will focus on the ability to provide a robust analytics environment that facilitates long-term data management for all participating libraries. The agency intends for this solution to create a centralized repository that supports both current reporting needs and future analytical growth.
