NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $33,150 firm fixed-price purchase order to R3 Uniq Inc. for digitization of historic records from the Glenn Research Center Launch Vehicle Program Office. The project involves scanning approximately 875,000 pages of documentation spanning 35 years (1963-1998) housed in approximately 250 record boxes. The work requires high-resolution scanning at 300 dots per inch with optical character recognition to produce Adobe Acrobat PDF files, with each original cardboard folder receiving its own electronic file. R3 Uniq Inc., an SBA-certified 8(a) Program participant and minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Bettendorf, Iowa, will perform the work at its facility in Cleveland, Ohio, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2025. The contractor must transport records from NASA Glenn Research Center Lewis Field in five separate trips, digitize the materials, and return original documents upon project completion.
This contract represents a total small business set-aside award and aligns with R3 Uniq Inc.'s established expertise in records management and digitization services for federal agencies. The company previously executed a substantially larger $1.8 million records management contract with the Army Materiel Command and demonstrates significant capability in managing sensitive historical documentation. R3 Uniq Inc. leverages its 8(a) STARS III Governmentwide Acquisition Contract with the General Services Administration as a primary vehicle for delivering IT solutions and services to federal agencies, providing the framework through which numerous similar task orders and delivery orders have been executed across civilian and defense sectors.
