2. C.3.6. The 30 steps to process the microfilm through the inventory workflow are discussed in written form, but qualified/experienced vendors will need to see the process/materials or to be provided with historical throughput in order to determine the level of effort required. LOC projects/RFPs traditionally host a vendor site tour or pre-bid meeting to view/examine materials and any system applications that the vendor is to use so vendors can physically see the actual work products.
