Ascher Sidney K

Ascher Sidney K is a sole proprietorship registered to receive federal contract awards since 2019. As a for-profit vendor, it appears to specialize in providing technical and professional services related to anthropology, collections management, and research support to institutions like the Smithsonian.

The federal award history shows that Ascher Sidney K has received three purchase orders from the Smithsonian Institution over the past few years. In 2023, it was awarded a $201,000 firm fixed price contract to provide technical services for anthropology through August 2024. Prior to that, in 2021 Ascher Sidney K received a $17,000 purchase order for the Stanford Collections Project, completed in 2022. And in 2019, the vendor was awarded a $35,033 purchase order for collections assistance work that was finished in 2020. All three awards were for services supporting anthropological research, museum collections, and likely involving archival, curatorial, or subject matter expertise. No set-asides or subcontracting details were indicated, suggesting Ascher Sidney K performed these contracts as a prime vendor through its own labor resources. The types of professional services provided align with the Smithsonian's mission preserving cultural heritage and advancing knowledge through museum collections and scholarly research programs.
