The purpose of this solicitation number FA700026Q0089 is for a firm-fixed-price purchase order to provide the Herbarium Digitization Project at the US Air Force Academy, Dean of Faculty Department of Biology (DFBI). DFBI is in need of digitization for DFBI-s herbarium. In 1978, Col Alvin Young along with cadets and faculty members who followed him, started an impressive herbarium with over 1800-2400 dried plant specimens. Each plant specimen is filed in cabinets in folders and grouped by family, genus, and species.Thus, the herbarium is an irreplaceable record of the ecological history of the flora on the 18, 000 acre USAFA reservation over the past 48 years. Specifically, it serves as a permanent record of what plants grew in a particular location on the Academy reservation.The herbarium currently is housed and accessed by department faculty and cadets for teaching and research. This request seeks USAFA-s herbarium to be boxed and shipped to a company that specializes in the digitization of museum collections worldwide. They have digitized millions of specimens for some of the most famous botanic gardens in the world. This company will receive, handle, barcode, photograph, create a searchable database for USAFA and return the specimens to USAFA for preservation. The necessary salient characteristics of this requirement are found in Attachment 1 - Salient Characteristics.
