The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is seeking to award contract services for a Collections Technician to work alongside the Collections Management staff on a variety of collections care tasks, mainly in support of an ongoing collections rehousing and storage reorganization project. Attached is a Request for Proposals (RFP) with a Statement of Work (SOW) and clauses for interested bidders.

The goal is to fill 1 Collections Technician independent contractor position working a min 1700 hours and a maximum of 1940 hours annually. A single Independent Contractor is preferred vs. a larger firm offering a variety of subcontractors because Contractor(s) would receive several initial in-depth orientations/trainings to familiarize them with the facilities, resources, projects, processes, and safety, therefore consistency in staffing would be essential to avoid impacting the storage project schedule due to frequent reorienting/training of new contractors.

The anticipated award date is January 6, 2025 with the base year ending January 5, 2026; there are 3 option years.
