Prime contractors include ELY Inc. (a woman-owned small business), Artemis Fine Arts Inc., and U.S. Art Co., Inc., who have been awarded multiple task orders. Most task orders involve cyclic maintenance of artworks, transportation between federal facilities, artwork storage, crating, and logistics support, primarily in regions such as the National Capital Region, California, and other select locations. The contract does not employ a specific set-aside designation, though the original solicitation indicated a small business size standard. Performance locations have included Washington D.C., California, Texas, Ohio, Maine, and New York, with contract completion dates generally extending to September 30, 2024 or 2025.
