- Description
- It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to procure an image/video research services on a sole source basis from Joan Marie Mathys, Washington, DC, for a continuation of existing services for the exhibition on the history of women physicians. Joan Marie Mathys is an experienced image/video researcher with a strong background in history, American Studies, and technology. With her bachelors from Marquette University and her masters in American Studies from George Washington University, Ms. Mathys has provided primary research services for the Smithsonian Institution, WGBH (WGBH is a public television station based in Boston), Microsoft, Time Life Books, and for independent exhibition design firms and film producers. Ms Mathys has been working independently as an image video researcher for the last 10 years. Prior to that, she had 4 years experience with the Video History Program with the Smithsonian Institution. She specializes in public domain collections and has worked on documentaries, CD-ROM projects, publications, and exhibitions. She is experienced at identifying and ordering images from international institutions and conducts research in manuscript and rare book collections. Because of her skills, experience, and scope of research projects and the variety of clients she has worked on, Ms. Mathys is uniquely qualified to provide image/video research services for the National Library of Medicine and the upcoming exhibition about the history of American women physicians. She is knowledgeable in the subject area, knows the sources, has a keen eye and strong attention to detail and she is able to step in and create a visual identify through her research for the exhibition about the history of women physicians. Ms Mathys's continued involvement with this project provides the continuity we require. She has the depth of knowledge of the subject matter, is familiar with the hundreds of individual biographies, and the intellectual and aesthetic requirements of the project. Many research leads develop over time and if Ms Mathys is not permitted to follow through on her initial and secondary contacts, the project will lose valuable time reestablishing those contacts. Because of the breath and scope of the exhibition about the history of American women physicians, it is critical that established research channels be allowed to mature, otherwise, the show will not meet any professional standards and will not remain on schedule. The proposed acquisition will be procured under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ), nor is an RFQ available, however, all responsive sources may submit a proposal in a timely manner, which will be considered by NLM.

Phuong, Lead Purchasing Agent, on (301) 496-6127. Fax requests WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
