FY 26 USAFA Herbarium Digitization Project
The U.S. Air Force Academy seeks a contractor to provide end-to-end digitization services for approximately 1,800–2,400 herbarium specimens, including high-quality imaging and structured metadata transcription. Performance will take place at the contractor’s secure, climate-controlled facility, with delivery to USAF Academy, CO. The contractor must meet Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) 4-star image quality standards, use photographic-based imaging (no sheet-fed scanners), and implement a barcoding system for tracking specimens and folders. A firm-fixed price contract is anticipated, and responses to this sources sought are due by 10:00 a.m. MST on 25 June 2026. No budget amount is specified.
