General Encyclopaedia Access Solution

The agency is seeking an online interactive encyclopaedia resource that includes different tiered versions to serve young children, elementary, middle school, high school students, adults, academic institution students and faculty, English language learners, and public library patrons. This solution must include study guides, lesson plans, news, updates, multimedia content, images, up-to-date bibliographic references, and other educational resources. The patron interface must support standard library search techniques and syntax, an advanced search feature, and compatibility with standard federated and discovery search tools. The agency requires a responsively designed resource accessible from any web-based device, delivering equal performance on iOS and Android phones, or through dedicated applications for those platforms. The system must also provide a client interface for individual libraries to access administrative reports and modify settings such as proxy server access and user preferences. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency accepts digital submissions via email or online portal, and the solicitation is open to proposals regarding budget and pricing. No specific key dates or evaluation criteria are provided in the source materials.
