The 87th Contracting Squadron (CONS) is performing market research to determine potential services in preparation for a potential future contract. This request for information does not commit the Government to pay any cost incurred in preparation of any submission to this Sources Sought Notice or to a contract for services. This is a market survey for written information only. The intent of this sources sought synopsis is to identify businesses for a Firm-Fixed Price, Supply type contract for a Heritage Wall Timeline. In 2009, the three collocated military installations of McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix, and Naval Air Station Lakehurst became one installation - Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Each installation has its own heritage, which is now collectively shared by the 87th Air Base Wing Historian, who serves as the Joint Base Historian. To continue the efforts of making the Joint Base truly “joint” and not “joined”, the Joint Base Heritage Program requires an area that will highlight the heritage of the Joint Base in one place to enhance the education, appreciation, and Esprit d 'Corps for those personnel who work in or visit the Joint Base headquarters.
