E--Tetlin NWR Interpretive Exhibit Fabrication and In

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a qualified small business contractor under NAICS 541490 to execute Phase 2 of the interpretive exhibits for the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Tok, Alaska. This firm-fixed-price contract involves the fabrication, packaging, shipping, delivery, installation, and testing of custom exhibits based on government-provided design documents. The scope of work includes the production of graphics, multimedia components, and the procurement of taxidermy and natural materials. The contractor must ensure that all new elements match Phase 1 visual standards, including specific paint colors, wood stains, and fonts. The project encompasses various themed areas, such as the Alaska Highway, wildlife migration, and Athabascan cultural traditions, utilizing a mix of reading rails, photomurals, and vitrine displays. The period of performance is scheduled from September 14, 2026, to September 30, 2026, with a final delivery date of September 30, 2026. Award evaluation is based on a comparative assessment of the technical approach, project schedule, relevant experience, and past performance, with these non-price factors weighted more heavily than the total price. The contractor is responsible for all logistics, including crating and unloading at the Tok Interagency Visitor Center. Payment will be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform upon government acceptance of the completed fabrication and installation. This requirement is a total small business set-aside, and all offerors must be active and eligible in the System for Award Management.
