The contract entails continuous, round-the-clock attendant services following a four-days-on/four-days-off schedule and involves specific locations including Coneross A and B, Oconee Point A and B, and Twin Lakes A and B. These attendants are responsible for gatehouse operations, user fee collection, customer service, conflict management, and maintenance of clean and sanitary facilities, using federal reservation systems such as ORMS/NRRS/RIS.

While pricing details are not disclosed, the award will be made on a best-value basis considering price and other factors per FAR 52.212-2, without a strict low-price technically acceptable approach. The solicitation imposes stringent compliance obligations, including adherence to federal acquisition and defense regulations concerning supply chain security, prohibited foreign products, anti-bribery measures, and reporting requirements on executive compensation and employment of protected veterans. Performance oversight will be conducted by designated Contracting Officer Representatives, Campground Program Managers, and the Chief Ranger, ensuring contract terms and quality standards—such as approved RV standards and insurance—are met. Proposals must be electronically submitted by January 12, 2026, including detailed documentation such as resumes, past performance, and certifications, demonstrating eligibility, capability, and adherence to required protocols. The administrative office handling payment and contract administration is located in Savannah, Georgia, with the contracting officer, Amy Collins, serving as the primary point of contact. Overall, this contract seeks reliable, compliant small business providers to deliver critical park attendant services that maintain visitor experience, safety, and facility operations across multiple Hartwell Lake campground locations for the 2026-2027 recreation seasons.
