Hafe electronic sign

The National Park Service seeks quotations for two solar-powered variable message signs for Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, with proposals due September 9 and questions due August 20. The procurement is a total small business set-aside, limiting competition to firms meeting the 500-employee size standard under NAICS code 339950.

Place of performance is Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (171 Shoreline Drive). The specification calls for two VER MAC/PCMS-1210 Three-Line Solar Message Centers with a raised height of 158 inches, width of 96 inches, weight of 1,920 lbs, six 6-volt deep cycle batteries, a 140-watt solar panel array, and LED lamps with a 1,000-foot legibility range. The sign cases must display 18-inch character height with three rows of eight characters per row. The control console must support 250 pre-programmed messages and 100 user-programmed messages with NTCIP-compliant software. Remote management capability is required, accessible via cellular phone or remote computer access. A one-year warranty on the sign and trailer unit is required.

Brand name equivalency documentation must accompany all quotations. An optional line item requires separate pricing for a 10-year cellular plan and software subscription access. Delivery is required between posting and December 31, 2026, occurring Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM Eastern. The government contemplates award of one best-value, firm-fixed-price contract. All offerors must be registered in SAM and acknowledge receipt of the solicitation amendment issued August 25, 2026, extending the deadline from September 7.
