Purchase Order 140FS224P0358

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $18,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to the Nebraska Historical Society, a U.S. state government entity, for the IA-DESOTO NWR-BERTRAND COLLECTION MUSEUM CONSERVATION PROJECT. This contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for the conservation and preservation of archaeological artifacts from the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa. The Nebraska Historical Society is the state historic preservation office and state archives for Nebraska, and has previously received federal grants to support historic preservation activities authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act, including subgranting funds to local governments for preservation projects. This contract award leverages the Nebraska Historical Society's expertise in conservation and preservation to benefit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mission.
