The Naval Postgraduate School's Dudley Knox Library (DKL) requires highly specialized services to maintain its DSpace-based institutional repository, "Calhoun" (https://calhoun.nps.edu). This repository is a mission-critical system, serving as the centralized archive for NPS's scholarly and institutional records, currently holding over 71,000 items.

The required services, detailed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), include planning and execution of major platform upgrades, configuration management, security patching, and technical support. Critically, the scope includes the ongoing maintenance, support, and adaptation of a large portfolio of existing, NPS-specific software customizations and modules that are essential to the library's operations.
