About the company
Conservation Center For Art And Historic Artifacts, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, delivers conservation treatment, mold remediation, preservation field services, and workforce training for cultural heritage organizations as a prime recipient on federal grants (98% of awards) and through occasional small federal contracts. The organization competes exclusively under full-and-open selection—no set-asides—and holds SAM.gov registration dating to 2002.
CCAHA's federal work splits between short-term preservation contracts and multi-year grant programs. On the contract side, recent work includes a $83,900 firm fixed-price conservation services order from the Smithsonian Institution (completed September 2026), a $7,450 Naval History and Heritage Command purchase order for conservation treatment and mold remediation of archival documents (June 2026, targeted completion March 2027), and a $75,325 Smithsonian conservation treatment order (February 2023). Contract ceiling values typically range from $4,700 to $83,900. On the grant side, CCAHA received $349,927 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (CFDA 45.149, Division of Preservation and Access) for preservation field services, consultation, and training to small and mid-sized cultural institutions plus a pilot graduate practicum (March 2026 through February 2028); $180,558 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (CFDA 45.312, National Leadership Grants) for a framework addressing museum collections stewardship during institutional change (September 2026 through August 2028); and $349,400 from NEH for continuation of preservation field services including regional heritage stewardship programs, sustainability cohorts, and apprenticeships in preventive conservation (April 2024 through March 2026). CCAHA also holds fellowship grants from the National Endowment for the Arts supporting one-year postgraduate fellowships in paper conservation.
Customer concentration sits with cultural heritage and national preservation agencies. The Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office leads by award count and potential value (14 awards, $1.7 million combined), followed by the Smithsonian Institution (14 awards, $563 thousand) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (12 awards). These three agencies plus NEA and the Department of the Navy account for 61% of awards. On the dollar side, NPS National Office, Smithsonian, and the National Archives and Records Administration ($317 thousand, single award) drive 89% of combined potential value, though that value concentration masks the grant-heavy portfolio—most awards are sub-$400,000 project grants. CCAHA places task orders under three indefinite delivery contracts: INP07PC60641 (National Park Service, 13 task orders, $349 thousand), DABT4302D0004 (4 task orders, $54 thousand), and 140P1118D0002 (2 task orders, $9 thousand).
Activity has remained modest and stable—two to five awards per year over the past five years—with five awards (combined potential value $7 thousand) completing in the next twenty-four months. CCAHA's capability portfolio centers on item-level conservation treatment for documents and artifacts, mold remediation, collections care training and apprenticeships, preservation planning assessments, and field service consultation for small to mid-sized museums, libraries, and archives nationwide and in U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, where CCAHA partners with Centro de Conservación y Restauración de Puerto Rico. The organization also develops workforce-development toolkits and educational materials in succession planning and conservation technician training, notably through a pilot partnership with Drexel University's Lenfest Center.
