About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Northeast Area awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Picturae Inc. on September 20, 2024, for $10,989.20 to digitize bound herbarium volumes. This total small business set-aside contract requires high-resolution imaging of approximately 10 fragile herbarium volumes containing roughly 2,520 bound pages. The work will be performed in Washington, DC, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2024. Picturae Inc., a New York-based small disadvantaged business specializing in digital preservation and transcription solutions for cultural heritage collections, was selected through a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation process based on documentation of technical capability and firm fixed-price quotations.
This digitization project supports the USDA ARS's mission to advance agricultural research through preservation and accessibility of scientific collections. The contract leverages Picturae Inc.'s established expertise in transforming fragile physical specimens into accessible digital resources, a service the company has provided across multiple federal agencies including the Smithsonian Institution and U.S. Marine Corps. The digitization effort will enhance research capabilities by making the herbarium collection available in digital format while protecting the original fragile materials from handling and environmental damage.
