66--3D SCANNER FOR MUSEUM OBJECTS

The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service, is soliciting quotes for a firm-fixed-price commercial purchase of a high-precision desktop 3D scanning system for the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in Kimberly, Oregon. The required equipment must be an Artec Micro II 3D Laser Scanner with Artec Studio 20 lifetime software or a brand-name equal equivalent. The system will be used for the non-contact digitization of paleontological specimens, geological samples, and museum objects under 100 mm to support scientific research, conservation, and digital preservation. Key technical requirements include high-accuracy structured light scanning, an automated rotational platform, and the ability to export data in OBJ, STL, and PLY formats. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334519. The government will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, awarding the contract to the responsible offeror who meets all technical specifications at the lowest price. The successful contractor must deliver the system within 30 days after receipt of order, with delivery and inspection occurring at the destination in Oregon. The contract includes a one-year commercial hardware warranty and requires ongoing technical support. All payments must be processed electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).
