Hafc IT_ FY26 filemaker support

The National Park Service's Harpers Ferry Center is seeking a contractor to provide 220 hours of technical support services for FileMaker Pro databases under solicitation 140P2125R0063. The procurement covers comprehensive FileMaker Server support, database maintenance, and reporting services for eight specific databases including Wayside Planner, Museum Exhibit Planner, Publications Operations, CLIO Object Conservation, Media Cost Estimator, Commissioned Art Collection, Audio/Visual Inventory, and Conservation and Historic Furnishings. The contractor will be required to conduct three on-site visits during the contract period and produce detailed data dictionary reports for each database, documenting tables, fields, relationships, scripts, and technical specifications while providing recommendations for potential future platform migrations. The contract will run from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, as a firm-fixed-price arrangement. Proposals are due by September 1, 2025, with the solicitation having been posted on August 1, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) with a size standard of $34 million. The justification documents reference an estimated value of $150,000 for FileMaker Pro development services, though market research identified 72 certified FileMaker Pro resellers nationwide with six potential alternative sources including Soliant Consulting, Beezwax Datatools, and 360Works. The government anticipates awarding one contract to support a complex ecosystem of 26 databases and applications across the National Park Service's Media Development and Conservation departments. Performance will support the Harpers Ferry Center's operations, maintaining critical institutional databases used for museum conservation, media production, exhibit planning, and publication management functions that require specialized FileMaker expertise for ongoing maintenance and potential modernization efforts.
