This contract, identified as solicitation number 140L5726Q0023 titled “Kane Creek Moab Rec sites Gravel,” is a total small business set-aside issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Utah State Office, under the Bureau of Land Management. It seeks a firm-fixed-price supplies contract for the supply, hauling, and delivery of 1-1/2” untreated base course gravel to various recreation sites near Moab, Utah, with an estimated quantity of 189 tons. The work is governed by FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures and requires delivery and dumping only at locations designated by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with no government-furnished property involved. The contractor must provide all materials, equipment, labor, and incidentals, including water for dust control, and comply strictly with specified material gradation standards per ASTM C136, environmental protection measures for wildlife habitats, biological soil crusts, cultural resources, and site amenities, and minimize public disruption through daily coordination with the COR. Performance must be completed within 60 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, and all deliveries require prior written approval from the COR for both date and quantity. The solicitation employs a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, where technical acceptability is a pass/fail gate tied to demonstrating suitable delivery vehicles—preferably end-dump trucks—and the capability to coordinate unloading per site-specific instructions. Offers must originate from a registered and active small business in SAM.gov, with a UEI and DUNS number submitted in a short cover letter, and must include disclosures of any pending lawsuits or debarment history. Financial terms are unit-price based, with payment contingent upon verified delivery and dumping at approved locations, corroborated by original certified weight tickets from approved scales. Invoicing is mandatory through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with enrollment triggered post-award. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses including Buy American, Combating Trafficking in Persons, Nonmanufacturer Rule, Whistleblower Rights, and Child Labor protections, with deviations noted for several regulations under RFO guidelines. Failure to meet any technical requirement renders an offer ineligible, and compliance with all representations, certifications, and documentation standards is binding. The proposal deadline is July 9, 2026, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time, with submissions via email to the designated contract specialist.
