The Department of the Interior, through the Washington Contracting Office, has issued solicitation 140P2125R0034 for the planning, design, fabrication, and installation of interpretive exhibits at the Bodie Island Visitor Center within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This small business set-aside project under NAICS 337212 involves the creation of 352 square feet of exhibits and conservation grade display cases. The scope of work encompasses multiple phases, including schematic design, design development, production, and installation, with specific requirements for audio descriptive tracks, monitor specifications, and replicated oil barrels. The project must adhere to rigorous National Park Service and Harpers Ferry Center technical standards. Key requirements include strict compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act and Section 508 accessibility guidelines, as well as specific typographic standards using NPS Rawlinson and Adobe Frutiger typefaces. Technical specifications dictate precise color management, image resolution, and PDF export presets for fabrication. Additionally, the contractor must follow established exhibit conservation guidelines for object preservation and utilize the Descriptive Exhibit Tour Interior Exhibit Module for audio streaming and iBeacon integration. All deliverables must align with the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Long-Range Interpretive Plan and HFC editorial style guides to ensure consistency in messaging and visual identity.
