    The Navy Museum Development Foundation (NMDF), in collaboration with the Navy History & Heritage Command (NHHC), is launching the development of the National Museum of the United States Navy adjacent to the Navy Yard. The project encompasses the design and construction of the museum building and exhibits. The selection process for design services will begin with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), where firms will be evaluated based on their experience with museums, military buildings, and collaboration with NHHC exhibit designers. Firms will be shortlisted to move to the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage, where they will submit proposals including fees and team details. Once a designer is chosen, construction will proceed via a Design-Bid-Build method, with a general contractor potentially involved early on for pre-construction services, including cost estimation and construction consultation. Comprehensive coordination across multiple essential services—such as security, IT systems, furniture, and exhibits—will be necessary throughout the project lifecycle. This initiative signifies a commitment to thoughtfully constructing a museum that reflects naval history while adhering to regulatory and design requirements.

The initiative reflects the Corps' commitment to improving project outcomes and responsiveness to changes in funding and priorities, thereby enhancing operational readiness. For ongoing communication, stakeholders are encouraged to stay connected via social media.

The project is divided into three phases: Phase 1 consists of constructing the main museum and renovating existing facilities, Phase 2 focuses on completing the museum and renovating an event center, and Phase 3 involves building a conference center. The selection of contractors will occur through various government vehicles, emphasizing past performance, understanding of requirements, and fair pricing. There is a commitment to maintain high security, comply with Navy regulations, and ensure close coordination between building and exhibit designers throughout the project. Additionally, contracts for exhibit design and various other services will be competitively bid and posted on SAM.gov. The project seeks to integrate technological advancements with plans for potential offsite construction methods while emphasizing flexibility for future collections.
