The initial contract period spans one year from the date of award, with the Smithsonian reserving the right to exercise nine additional one-year renewal options, potentially extending the total contract duration to ten years. The contract structure encompasses maintenance services for seventy environmentally controlled walk-in units of various manufacturers across six different geographic locations.
