About this opportunity

The General Services Administration seeks an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for Fine Art Services, with proposals due March 23, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside on a firm fixed-price basis.

Place of performance is Washington, DC and the Mid-Atlantic region, with potential nationwide scope. The contract comprises a one-year base period (May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027) and four 12-month option periods through April 30, 2031. Services include transportation, installation and de-installation, exhibition preparation, packing and crating, and cyclical maintenance of federally owned artwork. The contract supports the U.S. Semi-quincentennial and requires contractor availability on short notice with museum-trained staff and climate-controlled dual-driver vehicles.

The minimum guaranteed order for the base year is $2,500, with a maximum ordering limitation of $2,256,382.72 over the entire five-year period. NAICS code 484220 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local) applies; PSC code is R499 (Support–Professional: Other).

Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes: technical proposal not to exceed 70 pages and price proposal. Technical evaluation weighs experience at 35%, expertise in fine art services at 35%, past performance at 15%, and management plan at 15%. Offerors must provide at least four comparable contract examples from the past three years and demonstrate minimum two years of staffing experience. Price proposals must include hourly labor rates for eight labor categories—Art Handling, Art Install/Deinstall, Mount Fabrication, Crate Construction, Art Packing Services, Design Services, Exhibit Material Fabrication, and Art Transport and Storage—with estimated hours ranging from 120 to 720 hours per category annually.

Contractor questions were due March 9, 2026; government responses were provided March 13, 2026.

The General Services Administration (GSA) will award an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Fine Art Services, comprising a one-year base period and four 12-month option periods. This contract is essential for supporting upcoming government initiatives, notably the U.S. Semi-quincentennial, which will feature federally owned artworks.

The required services necessitate specialized expertise in the handling of complex fine art activities. These include the transportation, installation/de-installation, exhibition preparation, packing/crating, and cyclical maintenance of priceless and culturally significant artwork owned by the federal government. These services will support upcoming activities and may require the contractor(s) and proposed individuals to be available on short notice, specifically in the Mid-Atlantic region and Washington, D.C.

The GSA's Fine Arts Program provides national leadership and expertise in fine art care and policy for the agency's Fine Arts Collection. The program is committed to managing the Collection according to the highest ethical and stewardship standards, ensuring its preservation, legal compliance, accessibility, and public understanding. Ultimately, the program contributes to the creation of high-quality federal buildings for both federal employees and the public.
