About this opportunity
The National Park Service is seeking paper-based collection conservation services for the John Muir National Historic Site through solicitation 140P8525Q0076. The procurement requires professional conservation treatment for 73 paper-based objects from the museum collection, including books, magazines, photographs, letters, and artifacts related to John Muir, prioritized into three tiers based on condition and exhibition potential. Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of experience conserving paper-based objects and three years of experience writing technical conservation reports, with work performed in a secure facility meeting American Alliance of Museum standards. The government will evaluate offers based on three factors: price, technical capability, and past performance, with the intent to award a single firm fixed-price contract to the offeror providing the best value. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by August 4, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time, with quotes due by August 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time via email submission only.
This procurement is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 519210 (Libraries and Archives) with a small business size standard of $21.0 million in average annual receipts. The contract period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026, requiring completion of all conservation work by the contract end date. The 73 objects are divided into 25 Priority 1 items, 5 Priority 2 items, and 43 Priority 3 items, with treatment recommendations ranging from mold passivation and surface cleaning to tear repair and edge stabilization. Payment will be structured in three phases: 30% upon treatment proposal approval, 50% upon conservation completion, and 20% upon object return and final deliverable submission. The work must be performed at the contractor's facility, with comprehensive documentation, digital imaging, and archival housing required as deliverables alongside the conserved objects.
