Painting Frame Fabrication Services

The Library of Congress Exhibits Office issued solicitation 030ADV26Q0046 for painting frame fabrication services in Washington, DC. This requirement sought a museum exhibition framer to create custom, conservation-grade frames, acrylic glazing, and support components for paintings on canvas. The scope of work included on-site fitting of the paintings at the Library of Congress and the provision of hanging and security hardware to facilitate the display of the finished objects. While the contractor was responsible for fabrication and hardware attachment, the Library of Congress retained responsibility for the final installation of the frames on exhibit walls.

This procurement was classified under NAICS 712110 Museums and PSC T001 PHOTO/MAP/PRINT/PUBLICATION- ARTS/GRAPHICS. The solicitation was issued with a set-aside of NONE, explanation NONE. Project documentation included eight attachments, such as painting measurements, a past performance questionnaire, and Service Contract Act wage determinations. Point of contact Eric Pacheco managed the notice, which was first published on January 5, 2026, and updated through two subsequent amendments.

The original response deadline was extended to February 26, 2026, via Amendment 0001 to resolve erroneous information previously sent to vendors. According to Amendment 0002, published on March 16, 2026, the Library of Congress canceled the solicitation because no acceptable proposals were received. All requirements for the submission of signed SF 1449 forms and acknowledged amendments are superseded by this cancellation.
