V--2026 Housing for Seasonal Fire in Ely, NV

The contract awards seasonal lodging services in Ely, Nevada, for nine employees during the 2026 fire season, with a performance period from June 9, 2026, to October 30, 2026. The requirement is for nine single-occupancy lodging rooms under Product/Service Code V231, with delivery and performance occurring at the BLM-NV Ely District Office located at 702 N Industrial Way, Ely, NV 89301-9408. Delivery terms are FOB Destination, and the solicitation is exclusively set aside 100% for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB) under NAICS code 624229. Offerors must submit two separate proposals—a technical and past performance submission addressing amenities, furniture, room availability, and inspection compliance, and a separate price proposal using Standard Form SF-1449—both mailed via email to the designated point of contact by the May 18, 2026, deadline. The award will be made based on a trade-off process prioritizing past performance and technical proposal quality over price, with non-price factors collectively carrying greater weight. Contract administration and payment will be managed through the BLM Nevada State Office in Reno, with all invoices required to be submitted electronically via the Department of the Treasury’s Internet Payment Platform (IPP). The contract includes numerous standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering ethical conduct, prohibition on certain foreign equipment and services, Buy American requirements, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, inspection and acceptance protocols, and limitations on unauthorized obligations. The Government will conduct inspections at the worksite, with the Contracting Officer holding final authority for acceptance, and the contractor must be present during all inspections. The solicitation mandates compliance with specific representations in SAM, including disclosure of Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and socioeconomic status, and requires flow-down of numerous FAR provisions to any subcontractors. No specific packaging, marking, or preservation standards beyond general waste reduction principles are outlined, and no formal contract type is specified, though the use of fixed-price clauses suggests a fixed-price structure for the lodging services.
