Fixtures to be comprised of different light throw lengths and 3 color components. Purchasing of over 1,200 custom LED light fixtures and associated components for the relighting of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Carlsbad, New Mexico. The fixtures chosen and approved are of LED source and will be used as the primary illumination device for the cave resource, both directly and indirectly. The LED will be controlled using an industry standard protocol. The fixture's materials as well as the construction methods, are impervious to the cave environment, and are fully capable of preventing corrosion and subsequently any maintenance and/or complete replacement of the fixture or device.

These fixtures have color distribution which will allow for added depth, dimension, and visual comfort for viewing of the resources. The fixtures have color temperatures and beam strength that meet the requirement to prevent algal growth in the cave, and have capability to self-report their statuses. Type of Procurement: A negotiated sole source firm-fixed price contract is anticipated.
