Performance runs in two phases: Phase 1 from February 15 through July 14, 2027, focuses on bringing services online with twice-weekly janitorial frequency, and Phase 2 from July 15 through October 15, 2027, provides full maintenance during public operations from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Sunday, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas. Scope includes HVAC held to gallery tolerances of 68°F–72°F and 45%–55% RH, fire alarm and sprinkler systems, four elevators, APPA Level 1 public-gallery and Level 4 back-of-house custodial service, 24/7 bare-pavement snow and ice control, and artifact-safe pest management. Museum artifacts, exhibit curation, IT network infrastructure, CCTV, and security screening equipment are excluded.

The Support Services Manager must be on-site 40 hours per week, available within 30 minutes during normal hours and within two hours after hours for emergencies. Contractors must use the Coast Guard's Shore Asset Management Software (SAMs) and comply with RAPIDGate credentialing. Level II work orders are firm fixed price up to $5,000 in combined direct labor, materials, and equipment rental costs.
RFI responses are capability statements of 8–10 pages covering business size and socioeconomic status, similar BOSS or comprehensive facilities maintenance experience within the last five years, staffing approach, and experience with IBM Maximo or Coast Guard Shore Asset Management. Optional feedback covers FTE sizing, trade mix, cost, and scope risks. Responses are not offers.
