The Bureau of Reclamation’s Lower Colorado Region is seeking market research through a sources sought notice to plan for the design, fabrication, and installation of interpretive exhibits at the Hoover Dam Visitor Center, covering the Observation Level, Theaters, and Outdoor Areas. This effort is not a solicitation but an information-gathering initiative to assess contractor capabilities and shape future procurement strategies, potentially leading to a set-aside or unrestricted competition. The selected contractor will be responsible for all aspects of exhibit development, including custom artifact mounting, precise measurement and weight verification for structural integrity, and seamless coordination with government-furnished elements to ensure proper mechanical and electrical rough-ins. The project is expected to span no more than 570 calendar days, with a planned start date in May 2027, and will require on-site work across the full Hoover Dam facility, utilizing existing roadways, parking, and designated staging areas coordinated with Reclamation representatives. Interested firms must submit capability statements of no more than four pages by August 17, 2026, including business details, size classification, point of contact, and a portfolio of comparable projects completed within the past five years, detailing location, value, duration, client, and on-time, in-budget performance. The NAICS code assigned is 541430 for Graphic Design Services, though alternatives are welcome, and the Product Service Code is 9999 Miscellaneous Items. All responders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to remain eligible for potential future awards. Submissions are to be sent via email to Virginia Toledo, the designated Contracting Officer, and any formal solicitation will be posted on Federal Business Opportunities. The notice underscores the government’s intent to leverage market input to ensure the acquisition strategy aligns with available capabilities and project needs.
