GAOA Concrete Vault Toilet Installation

This procurement, solicitation number 1240BH26Q0033, is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12 for the installation of five concrete vault toilets across remote sites in Montana, managed by the Lewis & Clark National Forest under the Department of Agriculture. The acquisition is restricted to small business concerns with a size standard of $19.0 million, classified under NAICS code 238120, and all responsible sources may submit quotations without the issuance of a separate written solicitation. Work is scheduled to begin 10 days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed, with a firm completion deadline of August 31, 2027, and includes not only toilet installations at multiple Ranger District locations including Park Lake and Highwood Cabin but also removal of existing structures, asphalt demolition and replacement, and construction of a water ford crossing. Each site must be completed within a strict 14-consecutive-day window and delivered in accordance with detailed specifications, drawings, and manufacturer guidelines for approved models such as Missoula Concrete - Aspen or CXT - Gunnison. Compliance with federal regulations is foundational, with mandatory clauses covering labor standards including the Davis-Bacon Act, equal opportunity for veterans and individuals with disabilities, paid sick leave, and prohibition on contracting with inverted domestic corporations. The contract incorporates comprehensive construction-related FAR clauses addressing site conditions, permits, accident prevention, cleanup, utility access, and warranty of workmanship, along with bonding requirements including performance and payment bonds. Payment will be processed through a designated office in Portland, Oregon, and invoices must be submitted there, though the specific invoicing system is not specified. The evaluation approach is functionally lowest price technically acceptable, with proposals assessed first for technical acceptability under relevant experience and past performance—evaluated by recency, relevancy, quality, and confidence—then prioritized by price reasonableness. Proposals must include a signed SF 1442, documentation of relevant experience, and past performance data, with submission required electronically by July 28, 2026, to the designated USDA email addresses. A strict certification of small business status and compliance with DEI-related anti-discrimination provisions is required, with false certifications exposing offerors to False Claims Act liability. While pricing lines are listed as lump sum for each of the five toilet replacements, no dollar amounts are provided, leaving the contract value unquantified in the solicitation. All work must adhere to federal, state, and
