Long wallpaper reproduction services

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Northeast Region is seeking wallpaper reproduction services for the Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The contractor must accurately reproduce historically appropriate wallpapers for three specific rooms - the 2nd Floor Hallway (Room 211), Maid's Room (203), and Master Bedroom (205) - covering approximately 1,365 square feet of wall space plus additional ceiling papers. The project requires the contractor to draft patterns, test colors, and use high-quality archival materials to create wallpapers that reflect the site's historical period of significance while preserving and protecting original wallpapers during the process. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, personnel qualifications, past performance, and price, with all non-price factors being approximately equal in importance and significantly more important than price. Proposals are due by August 22, 2025, with a performance period beginning 14 calendar days after award and requiring completion within 250 calendar days.

This procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) with a size standard of $19 million, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price arrangement with payment structured in three stages: 20% upon initial design approval, 30% upon pattern approval, and 50% upon final wallpaper acceptance. Key deliverables include conceptual designs due within 60 days of award, approved color patterns by September 15, 2025, and final wallpaper production and delivery by December 15, 2025. Work will be performed at the historic site in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage rates as specified in the Massachusetts wage determination. The solicitation encourages site visits and requires contractors to be registered in SAM.gov, with all work subject to various federal acquisition regulations and construction contract administration requirements.
