About the company
Cross Henry, doing business as Cross Museum Services, is a Black American-owned, for-profit limited liability company based in Silver Spring, Maryland, that provides specialized art handling, installation, and exhibition support services to federal cultural institutions exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designations across all 32 recent awards, each structured as a firm-fixed-price or labor-hours purchase order.
Cross Museum Services operates in a highly concentrated customer base: the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art account for 97% of awards by count and 99% by combined potential value. The Smithsonian anchors the volume (23 awards, $675 thousand combined potential value) while the National Gallery drives the dollar concentration (8 awards, $940 thousand combined potential value), with the two agencies' rankings inverted. Concrete work spans art handling for major collection moves — including a $155,000 labor-hours engagement for the National Gallery's POD6 move through December 2027 and a $149,760 contract for "Art Handling for WBER" completed in 2024 — exhibition installation support (a $81,120 contract covering six Smithsonian exhibitions in 2022, a $20,800 engagement for the "Water's Edge" exhibition at the Smithsonian in 2025), sculpture and print collection assessment and curation support (a $39,845 time-and-materials sculpture collection assessment for the Smithsonian in 2024, a $173,100 labor-hours contract supporting the National Gallery's Division of Prints and Drawings through 2025), and mount making services for traveling exhibitions.
Activity has declined materially: the vendor awarded six contracts in 2022 but only two in 2025 and two in 2026 year to date. Within the next twenty-four months, two awards with a combined potential value of $285,000 reach ultimate completion dates. Cross Museum Services does not subcontract; all work is performed in-house. The vendor's category footprint reflects specialization in temporary museum labor and art logistics — the majority of awards fall under NAICS "All Other Specialty Trade Contractors" and PSC "Support — Professional: Other," with smaller representation in temporary staffing and specialized transportation. The vendor has operated continuously since at least 2007, with over 20 years of experience in federal cultural-institution contracting.
