In order to comply with the debt collection improvement act of 1966, all contractors must be registered in the central contractor registration (CCR) to be considered for an award of a federal contract.

The FSC for this is B521 and the NAICS Code is 541710, small business size standard is $6.5 million. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for this requirement. Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center is the only known source capable of performing the required documentation. The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center is dedicated to creating a resource that brings together the historical, cultural, environmental, and educational elements needed to preserve the rich coastal fisheries heritage of the down east coastal communities in North Carolina. This project builds on over 10 years of community-based efforts to help indigenous fisheries workers and long-time coastal residents learn to value the economic, cultural and environmental traditions that have shaped the ?Down East? coastal communities; and create jobs, businesses and supplemental income opportunities that preserve, interpret, and showcase important coastal North Carolina resources. The partnership with NOAA will enable access to heritage assets that are available only through community-based relationships; and identification and development of sustainable economic development opportunities that protect important traditions that respected and preserved the coastal habitat and ecosystem.
