CONFIDENTIALITY

The information developed under this Contract is the property of the U. S. government and shall be kept in strict confidence.

I. INTRODUCTION

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting a quote for the completion of a 100% inventory of non-accessioned museum property located at Camp Nelson National Monument.

This contract shall be Best Value for the Park and the National Park Service, not low bid.

Camp Nelson National Monument was established by Presidential Proclamation of Donald Trump on October 26, 2018. Between 2018 – 2021, the management of CANE was a partnership between the National Park Service and Jessamine County, KY who had owned the property prior to the NPS. Given that it is a recent addition to the NPS system, the records kept by the county have not been transferred to the NPS database, and the National Park Service does not yet have a clear idea of the full extent of the collections that will be transferred along with the lands and buildings. The National Park Service is in the process of developing a management plan to ensure the new national monument preserves the site’s resources, including not only the landscape and existing structures, but also the collections.

An inventory of collection material was completed by a historical archeologist associated with the site under Jessamine County ownership. General in nature, this inventory does not necessarily match up with what is on site. Until such an inventory of the collections can take place, the size of the museum collections and the extent of the various categories are unknown. What is clear is that a large portion of the collection is made up of archaeological and archival material.

This 100% inventory of museum objects shall include the location, description, and physical condition of all non-accessioned museum property at CANE and will create a baseline inventory of museum property for potential future inclusion into the CANE museum collection. The general inventory created by Dr. McBride has been attached to this SOW as Appendix A to assist with bid creation.
