06/27/2022: This Request for Proposals resulted in proposals way over the amount of funds available. It is apparent from the pricing we received that need to go back and rethink our whole approach. We believe we have found another less expensive way to meet our requirements using a system that already exist at the Library of Congress by adding new modules to give us required capability. This amendment is notice that this solicitation is cancelled and no contract will be awarded from this solicitation.
