Creative Exhibit Design Services

Solicitation # 030ADV27R0010

The Library of Congress is soliciting proposals for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide full-service creative exhibit design for a changing exhibition titled Comics in the SW Gallery. The project covers approximately 3,700 square feet and will feature 75 to 100 artifacts, including manuscripts, books, and three-dimensional objects. The scope of work includes 2D and 3D graphic design, case layouts, one rotational package, and promotional materials such as a brochure, poster, and website graphics. Notably, AV integration and media production are excluded from this contract. The base period of performance is scheduled from December 15, 2026, to June 21, 2028, with deliverables spanning from December 2026 through July 2028. This small-business set-aside requires strict adherence to museum-quality design and conservation standards, specifically those established by the Architect of the Capitol. Contractors must use inert materials for artifact chambers and avoid prohibited substances like oil-based paints or formaldehyde-emitting materials. All designs must comply with ADA, ABA, and Section 508 accessibility standards. Award will be based on a best-value trade-off process, where technical approach, management approach, corporate experience, and past performance are weighted significantly more than price. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes—technical and price—via email by the specified deadline.
