Purchase Order M0026425P0103

The U.S. Marine Corps awarded a $26,039 firm fixed-price purchase order to Madison Worldwide Advertising, LLC (doing business as Cathleen Lewis Consulting) on September 25, 2025, for fine art photography services at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia. Under this total small business set-aside contract, the prime contractor will photograph approximately 275 works of art from the museum's collection, including drawings, paintings, and illustrated diaries primarily documenting Marine Corps history from 1775 to the present. The scope of work includes creating high-resolution digital files at 300 dpi suitable for prints up to 40" x 60", producing 4x5" proof prints with minimum 2" white borders, and creating five giclee reproductions on canvas up to 30" x 36". Performance is scheduled to conclude by March 24, 2026.

Madison Worldwide Advertising holds multiple SBA certifications as an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone Firm, making it eligible for this small business set-aside opportunity. The contractor demonstrated relevant experience through previous federal contract work, though the Marine Corps solicitation required a minimum of five years in fine art photography. Photography sessions will occur at the NMMC Museum Support Facility in Dumfries, Virginia, with all contractor travel and associated expenses covered under the firm fixed-price structure. This contract represents the Marine Corps' effort to digitize and preserve significant artwork documenting institutional history through professional documentation and reproduction services.
