What this contract is for

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists (citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of the United States) to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for Federal buildings nationwide. GSA announces an opportunity for a Federal art commission in conjunction with the new construction of the Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Coburn, Maine. The new facility will strengthen supply chains, improve operational capabilities and facility infrastructure, spur economic growth, and bolster the country’s security. The project will provide a fully operational LPOE that coordinates with the tra?c ?ow and operations of the Canadian port of entry at Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn Quebec, Port of Entry. The project will provide a new port that allows Customs and Border Protection to more efficiently carry out its agency mission, their operations and interactions with the public. GSA allocates one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized Federal facilities for art commissions. The art budget for this project is estimated to be between $275,000 to $400,000. One or more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. Artists who wish to be considered for this GSA art commission must submit application materials to GSA by the SAM Contract Opportunity’s Response Date. Artists may also elect to be considered for all future GSA art commissions by submitting application materials to GSA’s National Artist Registry (Registry). Instructions on how to submit application materials and join the Registry are available on the following Web site: https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/design-and-construction/art-in-architecturefine-arts/art-in-architectu...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
