About this opportunity
The National Park Service, Midwest Region, is seeking a contractor to update the National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for the Pierre Menard House in Illinois. The contractor will be required to research and prepare the revised NHL nomination, which will address the property's national significance beyond its architectural features, including its associations with northern enslavement and the fur trade. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price order using simplified acquisition procedures, and will be evaluated based on technical, past performance, and price factors to determine best value. Quotes are due by August 26, 2024, at 12:00 PM CDT, and any questions must be submitted by August 8, 2024.
This requirement is set aside for Total Small Businesses under NAICS code 541720 - Document Preparation Services. The period of performance is 36 months after receipt of order, and the delivery and acceptance location is the NPS Midwest Regional Office in Omaha, Nebraska. The government has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors for this opportunity.

National Historic Landmark Update - Pierre Menard House, MWRO
The purpose of this modification (0002) is to provide questions and answers asked thus far.
Q1: Are Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) mandatory?
A1: If completed PPQ's are not possible, provide contact information for the Previous Experience projects submitted for Factor I, Subfactor 3 so the government may confirm satisfactory performance.
Q2: Will the contractor have access to out-of-print theme studies?
A2: The theme studies that were considered out-of-print are generally categorized as such as more recent and relevant scholarship has been done that makes them obsolete. Rather than relying on outdated NHL theme studies, offerors should focus on current scholarship on the topics being examined. That being said, there are two out-of-print theme studies that would relate to the Pierre Menard House; "19th-Century American Architecture, 1784 - 1880" and "Westward Expansion and Extension of the National Boundaries to the Pacific, 1830 - 1898: The Fur Trade." We have been unable to locate a copy of the 19th Century Architecture theme study, but the Fur Trade theme study is available as a pdf and will be provided to the awardee should they wish to look it over. We'll continue to look for a copy of the 19th Century Architecture theme study and will provide it, if found, to the awardee. However, offerors should submit quote packages as if that theme study will not be available.
Reminder that all amendments must be acknowledged by the solicitation close date and time.
