The Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation (PCAVC), also known as National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) is a state-of-the-art facility where the Library of Congress acquires, preserves and provides access to the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of films, television programs, radio broadcasts, and sound recordings.

The Packard Campus has globally recognized capabilities and capacities for the preservation reformatting of all audiovisual media formats (including obsolete formats dating back 100 years) and their long-term safekeeping in a petabyte-level digital storage archive. In addition to preserving the collections of the Library, the Packard Campus is also designed to provide preservation services for other archives and libraries in both the public and private sector.

This statement of work supports the Packard Campus operations.

The Library's mission is to make its resources available and useful to the Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The Office of the Librarian is tasked to set policy and to direct and support programs and activities to accomplish the Library's mission.

Objectives

ITS needs to procure technical support services for the MAVIS software application from Feenyx Proprietary Limited

This software product is the archival collection management software used in the MBRS Division, with additional users in the American Folk Life Center. The software product was first implemented in 1997 and will continue to support activities throughout the division at the Packard Campus in Culpepper.

Given the bankruptcy of Wizard Information Services, the original vendors of this application, Feenyx Proprietary Limited is now the sole known service provider for this software application. The support services are needed to facilitate the development of custom NAVCC software that integrates with the MAVIS application. The development of this software is a critical operational element for the NAVCC mission. MBRS and ITS staff require ongoing direct consultation with MAVIS technical support staff in order to remedy critical application problems.
