We are looking for interested parties to potentially restore a magnificent piece of art for the Air Force Art Program. The goal is to bring this artwork to an “exhibition ready” state, suitable for display, according to museums standards. The potential contractor would coordinate, schedule, transport, and provide professional treatment consultation and assistance services required to evaluate, assess, and intervene as required (either by preservation, conservation and/or restoration) to this Department of the Air Force artwork.

The painting is titled "Here I Am - Send Me" and is currently on display at the Pentagon (Since 1967). The painting is large. Approx 103 inches wide and 74 inches tall. It is understood that in person access will be required for analysis and quoting. Pictures are attached to this announcement to give potential respondees a general idea of the current condition.

We are encouraging any and all interested vendors who may be able to do all or part of this requirement. 

Respondees are  requested to address the following:

SAM UEI, socio economic status (SB/SDVOSB/WOSB/ETC) and POC information

Ability to perform restoration to Exhibition Ready status.

Ability to transport painting to and from restoration location and Pentagon.

Ability to remove/hang the painting at the Pentagon.
