- Description
- The Smithsonian Institution's Office of Contracting and Personal Property Management and Office of Equal Employment and Minority Affairs, in association with the National Museum of African American History and Culture, are pleased to announce that they will be hosting a Small Business Outreach Fair on July 30th, 2014!!! The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is being constructed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. at its intersection with the Washington Monument Grounds. It is anticipated to open in 2016. The design of the inaugural exhibits is complete and the Smithsonian's procurement for the fabrication of those exhibits is underway. Three companies have pre-qualified to receive the Request for Proposals on the exhibit fabrication work: Cinnabar California, Inc., Los Angeles, California; Design and Production Inc., Lorton, Virginia; and Kubik Maltbie, Inc., Mount Laurel, New Jersey. In keeping with the Smithsonian's desire to encourage small and disadvantaged business involvement in every aspect of NMAAHC's creation, we are hosting a Small Business Outreach Fair on July 30, 2014. The goal of the Fair is two-fold: (1) to let small and disadvantaged firms know about the various contracting opportunities available for NMAAHC and (2) to give small and disadvantaged businesses the opportunity to meet the pre-qualified firms. While there can be no expectation that any particular firm will be a contractor or subcontractor on this very important project, we hope you will come away from the Fair with more knowledge and contact information than you started with. The trades with subcontracting potential for this project include, but are not limited to, the following: exhibit-related electrical extensions to the base building (238210), audio visual integration (238210), exhibit-related security devices and their connection to the base building (238210), graphic production (541430), artwork (711510), artifact mount making (711510), rough carpentry (238130), painting (238320), display cases (337215), metal fabrication (238390), and scenic elements (711510). The Fair will take place from 12:00 - 3:00pm at the National Museum of American History's Warner Bros. Theater, located at 14th Street and Constitution Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20001. You will have an opportunity to speak with Smithsonian representatives, as well as representatives from the pre-qualified firms. We are asking you to come prepared with at least 10 copies of a one-page write-up about what your firm does, including your contact information. You also will have about 1-minute to introduce yourself to the entire group. So that we have an idea about the number of people to expect, please RSVP to Rudy Watley, Supplier Diversity Program Manager, Office of Equal Employment and Minority Affairs, at WatleyR@si.edu if you plan on attending. We would like to accommodate as many firms as possible, so please limit your participation to no more than two representatives per firm. Please share this information with any other firms you think may have an interest in this project. If you have any questions, you may contact Rudy, Maia Puryear at PuryearMJ@si.edu, or Debra Berke at BerkeD@si.edu. We look forward to seeing you on July 30th!!!
