The PSC Category M1PB - Operation of Exhibit Design (Non-Building) encompasses professional services related to the design, fabrication, planning, and installation of exhibits, interpretive displays, and audiovisual systems for federal agencies, with a primary focus on museum, historical site, and visitor center environments. These services include creating graphic panels, developing interpretive content, designing tactile and accessible exhibit elements, and installing multimedia presentation systems.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly involve the National Park Service, with contract values ranging from $5,000 to $771,084 and performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. Frequently awarded contractors include small businesses like Southern Custom Exhibits, No Limits Audio/Visual, Sea Reach Ltd., and Color-Ad Inc., with most contracts designated as total small business set-asides. The awards commonly cover exhibit planning, design, fabrication, and installation services for national parks, historic sites, and museums, with a strong emphasis on creating accessible, informative, and engaging interpretive displays that enhance visitor experiences.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities continue this trend, soliciting exhibit design services for specific National Park Service sites such as Fort Frederica National Monument, Fort Vancouver National Historical Site, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Site. These opportunities seek contractors to develop comprehensive exhibit solutions, including creating interpretive panels, display cases, audiovisual elements, and site-specific historical narratives. The solicitations are consistently set aside for small businesses, with performance periods typically ranging from 3-36 months and focusing on creating highly accessible, informative exhibits that communicate historical, cultural, and environmental themes.
