In this specific instance, the prime contractor is the Minnesota Children's Museum, which will provide a specialized exhibition rental. The contract type suggests a fixed-price, standardized approach to museum exhibit procurement that allows for streamlined acquisition of curated educational experiences.

Under this IDV, a single contract award has been made for the "Curious George: Let's Get Curious!" exhibition. The award, valued at $32,500.00, covers a single lot line item for an exhibit to be displayed from May 23, 2026, to September 20, 2026. The exhibition will be delivered to Laura Dearhart at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond.
