Life-Like Cast Museum Figures

Solicitation W911S226U4087 is a total small business set-aside Request for Quotation for the custom development, fabrication, and installation of full-scale, life-like museum figures for the West Point Museum. The scope includes the creation of figures such as Captain Thomas Machin and Colonel Thaddeus Kosciuszko, requiring precise physical characteristics, proportions, and facial features captured through model-reference sessions. The contractor is responsible for providing high-quality period replica uniforms and accoutrements, which must be hand-stitched where visible and may require distressing to fit specific historical tableaus. Additionally, the contractor must provide an environmentally controlled facility to store uniforms until the figures are ready for delivery. The award will be based on price and technical factors, with a preference for delivery within 30 days on an F.O.B. destination basis. Logistics are critical, as the delivery site is located in a third-floor secure storage room with specific door and freight elevator clearances; only short trucks with lift-gate assistance are permitted, as 53-foot freighters cannot access the dock. All quotes must be submitted via the PIEE Solicitation module and include a completed Buy American certification. Payment will be processed through the Wide Area Workflow system.
