Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

This project involves conducting supplemental historical research and producing a report on Civilian Conservation Corps activities at Vicksburg National Military Park, building upon an existing Cultural Landscape Report. The contractor is responsible for independently identifying and accessing necessary archives, with most research expected to be sufficient through NARA and state repositories. The budget for the project is explicitly stated as limited, requiring the contractor to balance thoroughness with this constraint. The work includes designing interpretive waysides using standard National Park Service templates. A concise summary of broader New Deal context and a historical narrative on specific topics like erosion control are preferred over in-depth technical or comparative analyses.
