Hafc nisi exhibit fabrication

The National Park Service is seeking exhibit fabrication services for the Ninety Six National Historic Site visitor center in South Carolina. The procurement is a firm-fixed-price task order under an existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Exhibit Fabrication Services. The project requires comprehensive exhibit development, including fabrication and installation of first-floor exhibits featuring object cases, graphic panels, models, illustrations, and audio-visual elements with audio description capabilities. Key personnel requirements include a Model Maker, Mount Maker, and Illustrator. The technical evaluation will prioritize Samples of Work, Proposed Key Personnel, and Past Performance, with these non-price factors significantly more important than price in the best value trade-off evaluation. Proposals are due by March 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT, with electronic submissions required to dee_dee_bender@nps.gov.

The solicitation does not have a specific small business or disadvantaged business set-aside designation. The project scope encompasses fabricating over 90 distinct exhibit components across multiple exhibit areas including Backcountry, Crossroads, Village, Nations, and Legacy sections. Primary exhibit installation must be completed by November 30, 2025, with all punch list items and audio description work finalized by December 31, 2025. While precise budget details are not publicly disclosed, the cost estimate template suggests a comprehensive budget covering project management, fabrication, lighting, exhibit structures, custom elements, electrical components, graphics, conservation, shipping, and installation. The exhibits will be designed to showcase Revolutionary War-era artifacts and historical narratives, with specific requirements for historically accurate reproductions and interactive elements. Performance will occur at the Ninety Six National Historic Site in South Carolina, with work to be executed under the Custom Architectural Woodwork and Millwork Manufacturing (NAICS 337212) category.
