Library of Congress - Wayfinding Fabrication

The Library of Congress is soliciting proposals for a firm fixed-price contract to provide comprehensive wayfinding signage fabrication, delivery, and installation services throughout the Thomas Jefferson Building. The contractor’s responsibilities include conducting site visits, taking precise field measurements, developing detailed CAD shop and engineering drawings, fabricating signage consistent with the approved design intent, delivering the signage to the Library, and performing installation, including specified lighting and coordination with key stakeholders such as the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC). The contract also includes production of graphic files, material samples, prototypes, operations manuals, punch list completion, and a one-year warranty for all work performed. Optional contract line items allow for additional exterior signage fabrication and associated warranty services. The contract term covers a base period from June 22, 2026, to July 1, 2027, with options to extend services and incorporate exterior signage work, potentially extending performance through January 2029. Deliverables are subject to strict deadlines, such as a kickoff and site visit by June 26, 2026, detailed drawings by August 31, 2026, and delivery/installation of optional exterior signage by late 2027. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the Library of Congress site in Washington, DC, with some off-site inspections supported by the U.S. Capitol Police. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical approach, management and staffing, corporate experience, and past performance over price, which is considered but weighted less heavily. Proposals must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the scope, feasibility of execution, qualified personnel, and a solid past performance record. Contract administration includes electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Portal, with the Contracting Officer Ramon Samuel as the primary point of contact. Special contract requirements impose strict standards for contractor conduct, security, and subcontract notifications, aligned with the Library’s policies and federal acquisition regulations. The solicitation allows for submission under various small business categories, though no set-aside has been explicitly designated, and no current offerors have submitted socioeconomic certifications. Pricing details are to be submitted through a referenced but unavailable Price Schedule, leaving the contract’s total estimated value unspecified in this documentation.
