Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for restoration and conservation services for macro-scale historical artifacts owned by the US Army’s Center of Military History Army Museum Enterprise (AME).

AME exhibits and maintains in excess of 569,000 individual artifacts ranging in size from lapel pins to main battle tanks and aircraft. Of particular importance are the macro-scale artifacts maintained as part of this artifact collection. The AME is mandated by Army Regulation, 870-20 and supplemental conservation directive documents, to preserve these large-scale artifacts in as close to original, services-related conditions as possible. However, due to the delicate and complex nature of these macro artifacts, combined with the deteriorating effects of exhibition and storage environments, occasional restoration and refurbishment may be required.

This acquisition will be a 100% Small Business set-aside. The period of performance will consist of five 12-month ordering periods. The Government anticipates this to be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The Government intends to issue the RFP in FY23, early 3rd Quarter, with receipt of proposals due 30 calendar days after issuance of RFP.
