F--GA-FWS PIEDMONT NWR-FIRELINE MASTICATION

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for the installation of firebreaks at Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia under solicitation number 140FS326Q0082, issued as a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial products and services in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13. This procurement is a 100% small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry and a small business size standard of $34 million. All respondents must maintain an active registration in SAM and provide their Unique Entity ID (UEI) to be eligible for award. The performance period extends from contract award through June 30, 2027, with work to be performed on-site at the refuge. Offerors are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit prior to submitting a quote and must schedule this through the technical point of contact, Nathan Herron. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Fred Riley no later than July 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, with the required subject line format. Quotes, including all required attachments, must be emailed to Fred Riley by July 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, with the subject line “Quote Submission 140FS326Q0082.” Required submittal documents include the completed Addendum to 52.212-1, a Quote Schedule, SCA Wage Determination, and a Past Performance Questionnaire, all of which must be fully completed; failure to provide any of these renders a submission non-responsive. The award will be made based on best value, considering technical approach, past performance, and price, with the government retaining the right to select a higher-priced offer if non-cost factors provide superior overall value. All contractors must register with the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) for payment processing, and payments will be issued only after the end of the month in which services are rendered; advance payments are prohibited. The Performance Work Statement and other key attachments are referenced but not included in the available text, meaning offerors must obtain and comply with the full set of attachments provided by the agency.
