The Department of the Interior National Park Service is seeking a contractor to fabricate eight 4-panel curtains consisting of 32 embossed painted panels for display in the Living Hall at Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park. The contractor must provide all labor, supplies, materials, equipment, facilities, and shipping necessary to assemble and fabricate 16 panels each of two unique designs, along with project documentation, packing, and shipping of the completed panels. The work requires specialized expertise in leather craftsmanship, as the panels feature intricate embossed leather construction with decorative stitching, fringe, and metal ring attachments in ornate floral and organic patterns. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, past performance, and cost, with non-price factors being significantly more important than price. The original solicitation deadline of June 16, 2025 has been extended twice, with the final proposal submission deadline now set for July 8, 2025 at 12:00 pm EDT, while questions were due by May 22, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 316110 (Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing) with a size standard of 800 employees, and the government anticipates awarding a single firm-fixed-price contract. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the scope involves creating 32 individual embossed painted panels that will be assembled into eight complete 4-panel curtains featuring complex construction with leather strips, fringe detailing, and metal hardware. The period of performance is 240 days after contract award, and the government will provide hi-resolution images of original curtains, fabric materials, surplus leather, and iron curtain rings within four weeks of award. The work will be performed for installation at the historic Scotty's Castle facility in Death Valley National Park, California, requiring the contractor to meet stringent historic preservation standards for this National Park Service restoration project.
