Olin Conservation, Inc.

Olin Conservation, Inc. operates as a for-profit self-certified small disadvantaged business delivering fine art conservation and cultural-artifact preservation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with 189 federal awards concentrated in mural assessment, condition evaluation, conservation treatment, and stabilization work for buildings under General Services Administration stewardship. The company is headquartered in Great Falls, Virginia, and works under NAICS 711510 (independent artists, writers, and performers) and 541890 (all other professional, scientific, and technical services), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on single-award IDIQs and delivery orders.

Olin Conservation's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region accounts for 107 awards (57% of the award count) carrying $53 million in combined potential value (85% of the total portfolio). This concentration flows through three primary IDIQ vehicles: a $16.6 million single-award indefinite delivery contract held since August 2022 (68 task orders, $8.2 million combined potential value); a $600,000 Department of the Army fine art conservation IDIQ awarded August 2024 (two delivery orders issued, running through August 2027); and a $250,000 Marine Corps conservation IDIQ held since September 2022. Secondary customers—the Department of the Army (28 awards across multiple entities, $6.3 million combined potential value), the Marine Corps (17 awards, $1 million), the National Park Service (6 awards, $267 thousand), and the Smithsonian Institution—account for the remaining portfolio volume. The source data identifies 19 distinct customer agencies served, but GSA's dominance is functionally absolute.

Olin Conservation's work scope is tightly bounded. Representative contracts include a $431,400 delivery order from GSA for Rockwell Kent mural conservation at the William Jefferson Clinton Building (September 2021–September 2024); a $351,826 Beal Mural Conservation order from GSA (September 2021–June 2025); a $204,721 Army Museum Enterprise artwork conservation delivery order issued March 2025 under the Army's $600,000 IDIQ; a $144,896 National Park Service purchase order for Arlington House fresco conservation (May 2026–May 2027) covering stabilization, cleaning, and reproduction of historic frescoes in three quarters; a $82,652 Smithsonian Institution NPG frame conservation services order (July 2025); and a $73,106 GSA New Deal Mural cleaning delivery order (May 2024–May 2025). Across the GSA vehicle, task orders typically range from $4,356 to $50,000 for mural condition assessments, conservation studies, cyclic maintenance, mural photography, and cleaning services in Washington, D.C. federal buildings.

Activity has modulated over five years—six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, five in 2024, nine in 2025, and two through May 2026—with a combined potential value of $62.4 million and obligated dollars of $19.9 million (32% realization). Seven awards carrying $319 thousand in combined potential value reach completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The portfolio is unmixed in teaming structure: Olin Conservation holds every award as sole prime with no subcontractors or parent-prime relationships documented across the source material.

Olin Conservation's three-IDIQ architecture anchors its federal footprint. The GSA National Capital Region vehicle, set aside for total small business and running through August 2027, drives 68 task orders spanning mural condition assessments, photographic documentation, conservation treatment, stabilization, and cyclic maintenance on federal buildings across the capital region. The Army's $600,000 fine art conservation IDIQ (August 2024–August 2027), set aside for total small business with a guaranteed minimum of $150,000 on the first task order and an estimated 1,600 service hours per year, supports the Army Center of Military History and Army Museum Enterprise. The Marine Corps $250,000 IDIQ (September 2022–September 2027), also set-aside for total small business, provides conservation services for paintings, murals, sculptures, and historical objects across Corps facilities. These vehicles carry no recompete cliff through 2027 and remain Olin Conservation's primary order-intake channels.
