The government authority in California is seeking a vendor to provide public library materials and related services. The selected provider will support individual shopping carts for library acquisitions, managed centrally with administrative controls that ensure transparency into claims, order status, account balances, and financial statements.
Vendors are expected to supply new print materials appropriate for public library collections serving all age groups, including adults, young adults, and children. Materials should be available in English, Spanish, and bilingual Spanish as requested, and offered in multiple formats such as hardcover, paperback (trade and mass market), library binding, large print, and board books. The solution must allow for options to share and merge carts, while still tracking expenditures for individual users as required.
The contract will cover a period of one year, with a deadline for questions set before the end of March 2026.
Best-fit vendors:
• Experience supplying materials to public libraries
• Capability to offer a diverse selection of print materials across age groups and languages
• Expertise in implementing centralized ordering and financial tracking systems
• Proven track record of servicing government or public sector contracts
• Strong logistical and customer support infrastructure
