The database system would be used by NARA's registrars, exhibit curators, designers, educators, conservators, volunteers, and archivists. The contract awarded as a result of this RFP will be a time and materials contract for customization, training, maintenance and support services, with a fixed price line item for software licenses for a base period of one year and four (4) option periods of one year. Award will be made to that Offeror providing the best overall value to the Government. The requirement is a 100% small business set-aside. The standard industrial code is 7372 with a small business size standard of $18M. All responsible sources may submit a proposal that will be considered by NARA.
