Delivery must occur within core business hours, and items should be inspected upon arrival for quality control. Contractors must also obtain access to the installation via the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) due to security requirements. The project must be completed by August 31, 2024, or within 120 days after the order is received, reflecting the Navy's commitment to preserving its heritage through the proper display of historical artifacts.
