General Requirements: The National Cemetery Administration (NCA) has a requirement to establish a one-time purchase order for the digitization of historical documents. Hand-written bound ledgers require digitization. The ledgers range from approximately 15 " x 10 " to 12 " x 7 ", and average around 200 pages each. In most case the bindings have been compromised. Typed ledgers. These consist of oversize pages in binders or loose in acid free boxes.

If a ledger is bound, it must be digitized in its bound form; if the pages/documents are loose, they may be digitized as is. Only flat bed or overhead technology may be utilized. No automatic-feeder apparatus may be used. Digitization will occur off-site at the contractor's business location. Ledgers will not be mailed; pick up and return will be via courier to location TBD, but in the general area of Washington DC.
