Key personnel requirements include a Project Manager, Senior Lead Tour Guide, Lead Tour Guide, and Tour Scheduler, all requiring specific qualifications such as customer service experience, public speaking skills, and current CPR certification. The evaluation will be based on five factors with Technical Approach being most significant, followed by Key Personnel, Staffing Plan, Past Performance, and Price, with technical capability weighted more heavily than price.

Performance will take place at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's District Currency Facility located at 301 14th Street S.W., Washington, DC 20228, where visitors receive educational experiences about U.S. currency production including views of the production floor and exhibits about currency manufacturing and security features.
