Solicitation 140G0326Q0184 is a single-award, firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract issued by the Department of the Interior's Office of Acquisition Grants for the Earthquake Science Center. The contract focuses on the construction and modernization of seismic station site infrastructure across California over a five-year ordering period, with an updated performance window from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2031. The scope of work is divided into three specific station types: standard seismic stations, standard stations with shallow postholes, and the installation of postholes and vaults at existing stations. All work must adhere to a detailed Bill of Materials and specific technical schematics covering solar power systems, telemetry infrastructure, grounding, and drainage. This opportunity is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 238190. Award decisions are based on a best-value trade-off process where non-price factors, specifically technical capability and past performance, are weighted more heavily than price. Technical evaluation focuses on the contractor's ability to mobilize equipment and personnel to remote locations and their capacity to manage overlapping task orders. The contract is subject to the Construction Wage Requirements Statute and requires the submission of a Master Submittal Package for each station type. Invoicing is managed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform, and the contractor must provide performance and payment bonds.
