LEWI_AV Upgrade

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking a contractor to perform a comprehensive audiovisual system upgrade at the Lewis & Clark National Historic Site in Astoria, Oregon. The project involves designing and installing new AV equipment for the Ross Peterson Theater and Netul River Room, including UHD digital video systems, 5.1 audio capabilities, new control systems, and accessibility features like FM transmitters for assistive listening. Contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit comprehensive technical, management, past performance, and cost volumes for evaluation. The government will prioritize technical capability and management approach, with non-price factors being significantly more important than price. Proposals are due by 5:00 pm ET on April 21, 2025, with a planned post-award site visit by August 31, 2025.

This is a small business set-aside contract with a NAICS code of 238210 and a size standard of $19.0M. The project timeline includes installation and training to be completed by May 31, 2026, with final deliverables due by July 31, 2026. The contract will be awarded as a single firm-fixed-price agreement, with the government anticipating a comprehensive upgrade that includes equipment replacement, rewiring, new control systems, and staff training. The project scope covers approximately two distinct spaces within the historic site, requiring detailed technical integration and adherence to NPS standard specifications for audiovisual systems. No specific award value was explicitly stated in the solicitation documents, but the comprehensive nature of the upgrade suggests a significant investment in modernizing the site's audiovisual infrastructure.
