Architect And Engineering- Construction: Exhibit Design (Non-Building)

The Product and Service Code (PSC) C1PB covers Architect and Engineering services specifically related to construction exhibit design for non-building purposes. This category encompasses professional design services focused on creating interpretive, museum, and display environments, with an emphasis on planning, conceptual design, and fabrication of exhibit elements for various federal agencies. The services typically involve developing comprehensive design packages, creating scaled plans, producing renderings, developing schedules, and preparing cost estimates for exhibit-related projects.

Federal contract awards in this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of exhibit and design projects, with contract values ranging from approximately $4,000 to $750,000. Frequently awarded entities include firms like Sea Reach LTD, Variance Collective, and Smithsonian-focused design companies. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service, Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, and various military branches are common funding agencies. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with performance periods typically spanning 6-18 months. While most contracts are not set aside, a notable number utilize total small business set-aside designations, reflecting opportunities for smaller design and architectural firms.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this PSC category include a National Park Service solicitation for fabricating interpretive exhibits at Tule Lake National Monument and a U.S. Air Force sources sought notice for architectural and engineering services at Grand Forks Air Force Base. These opportunities seek small businesses to provide specialized design services, including exhibit planning, conceptual design, master planning, and technical illustration. Performance locations span various U.S. states and territories, with anticipated contract values ranging from $25,000 to $9 million. The opportunities emphasize the need for firms with capabilities in comprehensive planning, technical design, and rapid project turnaround.
