Library Web Services

The City University of New York ("CUNY") seeks to procure a comprehensive, web-based library services platform that will serve over 250,000 students, faculty, and staff across 26 campuses (the "Solution"). The Solution must integrate with CUNY's enterprise systems as further described in this Part 3 and in Attachment A to this Part 3 (Information Technology Performance Requirements). CUNY requires a commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") product configured and deployed for CUNY's use, not a platform to be built, engineered, or developed as part of this Contract. The Proposed Product identified under Part 2, Paragraph I is the product that must satisfy Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below. Configuration, integration, data migration, and training are within scope; net-new software development to create required functionality is not, and a Proposal that relies on functionality to be built after Contract award does not meet a mandatory requirement, regardless of the label a Proposer gives that work. The Procurement Lobbying Act (PLA) Applies to this Solicitation.
