[Nhcoll-l] Contracting Opportunities: Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Department of Paleobiology

[Hollis, Kathy A.]

Hello Colleagues,

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Department of Paleobiology is seeking five (5) independent contractors to pack, stage, move, and organize fossil collections and associated material within and between NMNH facilities in support of the Paleobiology Collections Defragmentation Project. The contract period is for 12 months with options to extend.

The Paleo Collections Defragmentation Project will implement a decades overdue, long-term comprehensive physical curation strategy. The project will resolve pervasive physical organization deficiencies that limit the collections’ accessibility and care. The project ensures the collections are out of imminent risk due to below-grade storage and will allow a physical organization to be realized among the near 11,000 collection cabinets distributed among three separate facilities.

Qualified individuals are invited to review the attached Request for Quotes (RFQ) and Statement of Work (SOW) for specifics. Details on what to include in the quote package and how to submit it are available in the RFQ.

Responses are due Friday, September 17th, 12pm EST. Applicants should register as a federal contractor in the System for Award Management (SAM)<https://sam.gov/> concurrently to responding to the RFQ.

Please forward this announcement to any qualified candidates who might be interested. Feel free to contact me if there are any questions.

Thank you,

Kathy Hollis
