NWC Procurement Division is looking for a contractor, Iron Mountain, to relocate the Naval Historical Collection for the duration of the building’s renovation. The NHC consists of manuscripts, federal records, rare books and other special collections. These collections document the administrative and curricular history of the NWC, to include the naval activities in Narragansett Bay in support of NWC learning, research, and teaching needs. In FY2021, Mahan Hall will be renovated. To facilitate the construction, all collections must be removed from the building for the duration of the project, and then returned when the renovation is complete. The collections’ relocation was completed in July 2021. The return of the collection is expected to take place in 2025. In the interim, collections will remain in storage with limited retrieval. See attached Solicitation and Justification and Approval for details.
