Are you looking for program designers to create the experiences, 
fabricators to build the kiosks, systems people for the hardware, or 
all of the above?

If you need all of the above, you might consider engaging a 
production company that specializes in museum exhibits such as my 
company, Hillmann & Carr Inc. in Washington, DC.   We have thirty 
years experience producing programs for museums and exhibits, 
shepherding them from master planning through installation.  I would 
be happy to talk to you about your project even if you don't think 
you need a full service producer like us.

It's hard for me to provide other specific recommendations since we 
work with many excellent companies providing all of the above 
services.  Most work nationally so I would not feel compelled to work 
locally unless your budget is very tight.  However, here are a couple 
of quick suggestions that are more local to you, in no particular order:

West Office Design, Oakland, CA, design and fabrication
BBI Engineering, hardware systems, San Francisco
MAD Systems, Orange, CA, computer systems and specialty fabrication

For more ideas, I suggest the AAM marketplace search engine.  Not 
perfect, but pretty good.
