Why bid Institute of Museum and Library Services

IMLS contracts are predominantly small and under SAT. Library and museum data-collection methodology (IMLS Public Libraries Survey, Museum Data File) is a specialized differentiator. Public Trust suitability is standard. All awards use simplified acquisition or GSA MAS. Small-business set-asides dominate. LSTA implementation consulting experience is a niche with limited competition.
