- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Parts 12 and 13, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 811310. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey (OCS), the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) are the modern-day descendents of the nation?s oldest federal science agency, the Survey of the Coast. In 2007, NOAA will celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Survey of the Coast, along with 200 years of science, service, and stewardship it has provided to the Nation. The celebration will highlight the people, programs, and accomplishments of NOAA through a series of memorable events, publications, exhibits, and publicity throughout the year with the goal to foster public awareness of NOAA?s mission and history. NOAA?s Preserve America Initiative will be highlighting the 200th Anniversary in February 2007 and will use a heritage piece of equipment, the Stockman Printing Press, as the centerpiece for its exhibition. In the nineteenth century, nautical charts were printed using copper printing plates. The Stockman Printing Press is a flat-bed, single roller, lithographic press. NOAA has a requirement for the cleaning and preservation of this printing press to make it suitable for the NOAA exhibition. The tasks include: 1) Clean all components of the press; 2) Repaint all painted surfaces; 3) Add a protective coating to all painted and unpainted surfaces; 4) Provide photographic documentation of the press cleaning and preservation; 5) Submit a report documenting treatment and maintenance recommendations; 6) Provide a roller system for limited transport of the preserved press along a level surface; 7) Inspect the press motor to see if operational and provide an interim report on the feasibility of making the Stockman Printing Press operational. Based on the report findings, Coast Survey may exercise a rehabilitation option of making the press operational which may affect the treatment of the roller and press bed and the preservation of the motor.
