The U.S. General Services Administration is seeking commissions for a permanent, public-scale artwork to be installed at the new Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry in Maine. This project is a Small Business Set-Aside open to all art mediums, including sculpture and murals, with an all-inclusive fixed-price budget estimated between $275,000 and $400,000. The selected artist must be a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management. In accordance with Executive Order 13934, priority will be given to works that portray historically significant Americans, events of American historical significance, or the founding ideals of the nation. Interested artists must submit application materials by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on October 22, 2026, either through the specific opportunity or via the GSA National Artist Registry. Evaluation is based primarily on the artist's existing portfolio, past performance, and experience with similar commissions, with selection criteria weighted more heavily than price. The scope of work includes collaborating with the lead designer, site visits, concept development, fabrication, installation, and maintenance planning. Once awarded, the project typically spans three to five years, aligning with the construction phases of the federal facility.
