The National Park Service is seeking to procure electrical lighting replacement services for the Minidoka National Historic Site visitor contact station in Jerome, Idaho. The project involves removing and replacing approximately 170 linear feet of overhead exhibit lighting, including a 10-foot strip over the visitor contact desk, with museum-grade architectural lighting that meets national electric codes and archival lighting standards. Contractors must demonstrate personnel skills and certifications in electrical lighting installation, with the work requiring careful execution within a partially restored historic 1940s warehouse structure. The solicitation uses a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, assessing proposals on a pass/fail basis across qualifications, past performance, and price criteria. Critical dates include a mandatory site visit scheduled for August 27, 2025, and proposal submissions due by September 10, 2025, at noon MST.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 238210 for Electrical Contractors. The contract period of performance spans from September 22, 2025, to December 15, 2025, with work to be performed during daylight hours Monday through Friday while the visitor center is closed to the public. The project requires museum-grade lighting fixtures with adjustable lumen output ranging from 50-300 lumens to protect sensitive historical artifacts including 1940s photographs, military uniforms, books, and various archival materials. The contractor must provide a 5-year warranty on the lighting system and a 1-year warranty on workmanship, with all work performed at the Minidoka National Historic Site in Jerome, Idaho.
