The contractor shall provide and lease four (4) temperature-controlled 40-foot reefer storage containers for the temporary storage of 992 pieces of packaged artwork that have previously experienced mold damage. The contractor is responsible for delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal of all containers, ensuring they remain fully operational throughout the contract period. Each container must operate on no more than 100A electrical service and be compatible with 240v power. Environmental control units or telemetics systems must maintain strict climate conditions: temperature at 67 degrees Fahrenheit (±5 degrees) and relative humidity at 40% (±10%). The contractor must respond to out-of-specification notifications within 48 hours for service calls and 24 hours for HVAC failures. If equipment cannot be repaired within 48 hours, the contractor must provide a replacement unit of equal or greater specifications at no additional cost. All containers must be elevated to provide minimum six-inch clearance from the installation pad to mitigate flooding risks, be fully lockable and secure, and guaranteed wind and watertight for the lease duration. The contractor shall provide either built-in lighting or 20-amp 120v service receptacles for government-furnished lighting and ensure contractor personnel utilize appropriate PPE including respiratory protection when entering containers. Delivery shall occur within seven calendar days of contract award. The Period of Performance consists of a one-year base period followed by three consecutive three-month option periods, not to exceed 36 months total. Performance location is 1100 Spaatz Street, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433, with work conducted during normal duty hours (0730-1630 Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) Artwork Storage at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB)

23 September 2026

1. BACKGROUND

The Department of the Air Force Art Collection is comprised of over 9,000 paintings, works on paper, mixed media, textiles, and sculptures spanning from World War I to the present day. To ensure the long-term preservation and security of a specific portion of this historic collection, the NMUSAF requires temporary, climate-controlled on-site storage for 992 designated artworks at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).

Due to inadequate historical storage conditions at their previous location, all 992 of these specific artworks have experienced prior mold damage. To mitigate risk and contain the issue, all assets will be securely wrapped and packaged in protective materials prior to being placed into the storage containers, preventing any further spread of mold. Maintaining strict, continuous environmental controls within the storage containers is critical to arrest any active mold growth and protect the collection from further deterioration.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and services necessary to lease, deliver, install, maintain, and remove four (4) temperature-controlled, secure, and weather-tight reefer storage containers for the temporary storage of 992 pieces of packaged artwork at WPAFB.

The contractor shall ensure that all equipment remains fully operational and meets or exceeds the environmental and security specifications outlined herein throughout the entire duration of the contract.

3. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

At a minimum, the contractor shall satisfy the following technical and operational requirements:

• Temperature-Controlled Storage Containers: Provide, deliver, install, and lease four (4) temperature-controlled 40ft reefer storage containers at the designated location on WPAFB. Each box shall be able to operate on no more than 100A and be compatible with 240v.

• Environmental Controls: Ensure all storage containers are equipped with environmental control units or a telematics system capable of continuously monitoring strict climate standards:

• Temperature: 67 degrees Fahrenheit (+ or - 5 degrees)

• Relative Humidity: 40% Relative Humidity (+ or - 10%)

• The contractor shall maintain these environmental control units to ensure continuous stability throughout the life of the contract.

• The contractor shall perform a service call within 48 hours of notification that the readings are out of specifications. In the event of an HVAC/climate-control failure, the Contractor shall respond within 24 hours of notification by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

• Equipment Replacement (Swaps): If a container or its environmental control unit cannot be repaired to full functionality within 48 hours, the Contractor shall provide and install a fully functioning replacement unit of equal or greater specifications at no additional cost to the Government.

• Artwork Condition and Containment: Note that all 992 pieces of artwork will be loaded into the storage containers pre-wrapped and packaged to contain the assets. Government will add free standing shelving units to the storage units to hold the artwork.

• Placement and Elevation:

• Elevation: To mitigate potential flooding risks, all storage containers must be elevated to provide a minimum clearance of six (6) inches from the installation pad.

• Security: Ensure all four (4) storage containers are fully lockable with padlocks, secure, and structurally sound to protect the enclosed government property from unauthorized access and environmental elements.

• Government will supply and maintain padlocks.

• Safety and PPE: Ensure contractor personnel utilize appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including respiratory protection (e.g., N95 masks) if entering the storage containers for maintenance, as a precautionary safety measure.

• Lighting: Lighting shall be installed within the container or there shall be 20amp 120v service receptacles for government furnished lighting.
