Graphic Design Support Services for the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT)

The Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary seeks Graphic Design Support Services through a competitive Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside, with proposals due December 3, 2026. Eligibility is restricted to woman-owned small businesses.

The procurement is a single fixed-price stand-alone contract. Offerors must submit fixed, non-changeable fully loaded hourly billing rates. Contractors bill only for hours actually worked, submit invoices monthly, and stay within ceiling price limits per project year. The attached draft summary lists one base year plus four one-year options, running from April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2032. The notice does not state a ceiling value.

Performance is on-site at DOT Headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, Washington, DC 20590, during 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The contractor provides two full-time Level II Graphic Designers, one on-call Level II Graphic Designer, and one Graphic Design Project Manager with expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud, layout and prepress production, digital and web assets, data visualization, and modern design workflows. Personnel require a bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field and two to five years of professional experience. Contractor personnel require background checks, FBI fingerprinting, USCIS immigration status verification, and U.S. citizenship. The attached draft summary lists 1,920 hours per project year for the two full-time positions, 40 hours for the project manager, and 200 hours annually for the on-call position.

The notice carries NAICS 541340, Drafting Services, and PSC T001, Photo/Map/Print/Publication-Arts/Graphics. The attached draft's file name acknowledges a NAICS code ambiguity, and its derived summary cites 541430 as controlling.

Award is best value. Technical capability, management approach, past performance, and price are equally weighted.
