56--FY 26 ORV RAMP SHELL ORDER

The National Park Service is seeking quotes for a firm-fixed-price contract to provide bulk crushed clam shell material for Off Road Vehicle ramp maintenance at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The requirement consists of a base bid for 1,200 cubic yards delivered to the Cape Point Campground storage site in Buxton, North Carolina, with two additional options: 210 cubic yards for Ocracoke and 780 cubic yards for the Cape Point Campground storage site. The period of performance is scheduled from September 30, 2026, to May 31, 2027, with project deliveries beginning within 60 days of the award. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 212311. Material specifications are strict, prohibiting the use of oyster shells and limiting other shell types, such as scallops and cockles, to 10 percent of the total volume. Whole shells must not exceed 25 percent of the delivery, and all material must be crushed and rolled to reduce edges. The contractor is responsible for coordinating deliveries with the National Park Service point of contact, managing ferry logistics for Ocracoke Island, and providing detailed receipts for each load including volume, weight, and dimensions. Award will be based on best value, considering price, technical ability to meet specifications, completion time, and past performance. Payment requests must be submitted electronically through the Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform.
