About this award

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $52.9K purchase order to Ion Design LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Charles Town, West Virginia, for the design and fabrication of six outdoor interpretive panels at the Gull Lake Recreation Area near Brainerd, Minnesota. This total small business set-aside contract, awarded February 18, 2025, with completion targeted for September 12, 2025, addresses a previous removal of inaccurate historical signage at the site. The interpretive panels will focus on tribal history, USACE operations, engineering, and environmental stewardship, with particular emphasis on accurate Dakota and Anishinaabe language translations developed in consultation with native speakers. The panels must be weatherproof, designed for a 10-year lifespan, and mounted on 45-degree podium-style holders with double posts.

This award builds on Ion Design LLC's existing relationship with the USACE St. Louis District, which awarded the company a $5M multiple-award blanket purchase agreement through September 2025 for interpretive media services. Ion Design LLC specializes in comprehensive design solutions for exhibits, panels, and educational materials primarily serving cultural and historical institutions and federal agencies. The firm's recent contract portfolio with the USACE and National Park Service demonstrates proven capability in delivering culturally sensitive interpretive content, positioning it effectively to deliver the culturally responsive panels required for this Gull Lake project while honoring tribal historical accuracy and community input.
