This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Procurement and Contracting Services on July 31, 2026. The RFQ seeks Exhibition Design, Fabrication, and Installation Services for Interactive Educational Exhibits and Audio-Visual Integration Services from a qualified firm. The contract is not designated as a small business set-aside. The solicitation number is CAFC260009 with requisition/purchase request number CAFC260260. Quotations must be submitted in accordance with Standard Form 18 requirements, including sealed envelope submission procedures. The RFQ indicates a quantity of 0.000000 service units, suggesting this may be a request for information or preliminary solicitation rather than a finalized procurement with specific quantity metrics defined. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of any amendments and submit offers by the deadline specified in the solicitation, with offers valid for the number of days stated on the cover sheet unless a different period is proposed.

The solicitation incorporates multiple federal contract clauses by reference, including provisions related to employment by the government, conflict of interest, inspection of services, warranty of services, key personnel requirements, and small purchase procedures effective April 2026. The contract incorporates FAR clauses addressing payment by electronic funds transfer through the System for Award Management (SAM), SAM registration requirements, records ownership, insurance requirements (including workers' compensation at $100,000 minimum and general liability at $200,000 per person), judiciary-specific clauses regarding contractor relationships and network usage restrictions, and various other standard federal contracting terms. Key personnel will be designated by the contracting officer upon contract award, with substitutions requiring advance written approval and at least 30 days' notice. The judiciary reserves the right to terminate for convenience and may inspect or test all services provided. Offerors should conduct site visits to assess performance conditions and submit quotations in English and U.S. dollars.
