About this opportunity
The National Archives and Records Administration intends to award a sole-source contract to Design and Production (D&P), Incorporated for recurring bi-monthly preventative maintenance and ad-hoc repair services for museum exhibits at the National Archives Museum, with contract 88310326Q00035 awarded on September 28, 2026.
NARA justified the sole-source award based on D&P's proprietary ownership of the complex control system that integrates power, video, audio, lighting, and interactive computers throughout four exhibits: The American Story, Discovery Center, Records of Rights, and the Orientation Plaza. D&P's proprietary software program also connects to Archives I's emergency announcement system. Market research confirmed that D&P preventative maintenance and repair services are available only through D&P, with no authorized or certified resellers in the market. Preventative maintenance includes on-site inspections of electric systems, control room system functionality, large display device operation, touch screen calibration, and audio-visual system integrity. Ad-hoc repair services address reported malfunctions and include monthly structural inspections of mechanical components such as slide rails, sliding panels, drawers, and interactive exhibit elements, with immediate verbal reporting of any issues that could cause harm or failure. Place of performance is 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC. NARA indicated that when the D&P control system reaches end-of-life, alternative technical systems capable of integration will be researched and competed.
