The Department of the Interior (DOI) - Philadelphia MABO on behalf of the National Park Service (NPS) - Valley Forge National Historical Park (VAFO) - has requirement to finish the final phase of the Maurice Stephens House at VAFO to tie in new building to existing historic Maurice Stephens House.

The completion of the Maurice Stephens House project is critical for the America's 250 Celebration, as events will take place throughout the year at VAFO, and supported by Sole Source Justification.

International Management Consultants, Inc., has been identified through Market Research as the only vendor that can provide for the completion of this project, as they are the contractor that is working on the new building at the Maurice Stephens House through a contract with the Lessee utilizing this part of VAFO.
