Wicr wayside artwork

The National Park Service, MWR Missouri Major Acquisition Buying Office (MO-MABO) intends to negotiate a sole source procurement action to Wood Ronsaville and Harlin Inc. (WRH) for full-color illustrations to depict site specific, Civil War era stories that have never before been depicted. The illustrations will be used on wayside exhibits placed at locations related to significant stories along the Park's tour road located at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, Republic, MO.
Wilson's Creek National Battlefield conducted competitive procurements for wayside exhibit illustrations along the tour road in past years whereby WRH was the successful offeror. In keeping with the same illustrative concept, design, style, and artistic medium as the existing wayside exhibit illustrations, and to bring continuity and realism to the visitor's experience, it is in the best interest of the Government to continue this collection by using the same WRH artist who prepared the existing Tour Road illustrations. The illustrator has subject matter expertise in Civil War stories and material culture and has specialized skills in depicting national park stories, especially military stories, with a style that engages visitors and immerses them in the action being depicted. More explicit detail of the rationale for this sole-source action is set forth in the J & A for Other than Full and Open Competition which is included with this Notice.
THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 - Only Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. No information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
