About this file

This document is Amendment Two (0002) to Solicitation NZP-DC: Construct Arabian Leopard Exhibit for the Smithsonian Institution, issued on June 22, 2026, with an effective date of July 7, 2026. The amendment includes the Smithsonian Institution's response to RFI Question #5 regarding bonding capacity requirements. Offerors are required to acknowledge receipt of all amendments to the solicitation, signed and dated, and submit them with their proposals. The Statement of Qualifications due date has been established as Friday, July 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.

The RFI responses address five key questions from offerors regarding the Qualifications Statement Package (QSP) for the Renew Arabian Leopard Facility Phase 2 Habitats & Animal Care Building project. Significant clarifications include: resumes are not required for initial qualification submissions but will be required in Step 2 (submitted June 29-July 1, 2026); all non-comparable projects submitted under Factor 2, Section B must meet thresholds of less than $15 million construction value and 10,000 square feet (answered July 2-6, 2026); a part-time onsite safety manager is required at least one day per week until project acceptance; a full-time onsite quality manager is required until beneficial occupancy and final closeout (answered July 2-6, 2026); and the minimum bonding capacity per project has been reduced from $100 million to $36 million (answered July 9, 2026). These responses provide essential clarifications for contractor qualifications and staffing requirements.
