Note: Repeating questions have been condensed and/or deleted. This Amendment 1 also changes the due date for proposals to 3 March 2020 at 4:00 PM Easter Standard Time. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is seeking custom computer software programming services/custom web development services for the development of an online digital exhibition experience that will serve as an extension of and companion to NMAAHC’s in-museum Slavery and Freedom exhibition (the “Project”). It is anticipated that the Project and the Project deliverables will be informed by the Agile Manifesto (http://www.agilemanifesto.org/) and the U.S. Digital Services Playbook (https://playbook.cio.gov/). NMAAHC’s Slavery and Freedom exhibition (the Exhibition”) is currently limited in the number of visitors it can reach and the number of objects, documents, media, graphics, and stories that can be displayed due to its physical space limitations and the permanence of its location in Washington, D.C. These physical limitations constrain the potential reach and impact of the Exhibition’s vital stories and critical information. NMAAHC’s vision is to provide a digital exhibition experience that evokes the powerful emotional response of an in-person visit to the Exhibition while expanding learning opportunities through access to additional digital resources not currently available as part of the in-gallery experience. This online experience will seek to increase the Museum’s reach and impact by creating an accessible, inclusive, intuitive, educational experience for diverse audiences and learners of all levels, including those who may not have the opportunity to visit the Museum, those who have visited the Museum and would like to engage further with the Exhibition following their visit, and students and education professionals who would like to use content from the Exhibition within the classroom and as part of their curriculum. The Smithsonian is looking to award one time-and-materials contract with possible multiple option periods to one successful Offeror. NOTE: This is not a solicitation for a federal contract and is therefore not governed by federal procurement procedures. Thank you for your interest.
