The purpose of this Invitation to Bid (ITB) is to obtain the lowest price for an Integrated Library System (ILS) for the Middletown and Willimantic Service Centers, a part of the Division of Library Development, Connecticut State Library. Currently the Service Centers share a SirsiDynix Unicorn ILS hosted by SirsiDynix. The Service Centers current contract with SirsiDynix will expire on July 1, 2009. By this date, we are planning to have in place a new ILS that meets all our minimum requirements. Vendors should complete this ITB and provide a bid price only if they will be able to meet all the minimum requirements listed below before this deadline. After the bid process, the vendor with the lowest bid will be required to demonstrate that their ILS already meets most of these requirements and has a plan in place to meet all the requirements before the deadline. Bids are due May 28, 2009.
