Mark Twain NF Greer Springs Trailhead Vault Toilet Replacement

The U.S. Forest Service is seeking a small business contractor to replace two abandoned vault toilets with a single new ADA-compliant Cascadian CXT vault toilet at the Greer Springs Trailhead on the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri, with a strict delivery and installation deadline of February 28, 2027. The contract is a firm fixed price solicitation issued under a small business total set-aside, exclusively available to small businesses as defined by NAICS code 238990, and requires full compliance with all applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions, including subcontracting plans, labor standards, and environmental and accessibility requirements. The work involves complete removal of existing facilities, site preparation, construction on the original footprint, installation of a vault toilet with polyethylene-lined concrete base, Lexan windows, JAVA BROWN exterior finishes, proper ventilation, and full site restoration to debris-free condition, all in accordance with ADA/ABA guidelines and FP-14 standards. Contractors must demonstrate relevant past performance, technical capability, and qualifications, with award based on best value through a trade-off process where technical merit outweighs price unless proposals are substantially equal. The proposal must be split into two self-contained volumes—technical and price—and submitted electronically by 11:00 a.m. CDT on May 25, 2026, to the designated contracting officer, with mandatory inclusion of a bid bond and compliance with all representation and certification requirements, including SAM registration and small business status verification. Performance will be monitored under stringent oversight, with payment processed exclusively through the IPP.gov platform via electronic funds transfer and subject to audit. Special requirements include compliance with H-2B and Farm Labor Contractor regulations, mandatory display of worker protection posters, provision of OSHA-compliant personal protective equipment at no cost to workers, adherence to MSPA housing standards, and verification of subcontractor compliance. All contract administration is managed by the USDA Forest Service Stewardship Contracting Branch in Washington, D.C., with the place of performance located in Missouri, and additional obligations include security protocols, privacy training, Buy American compliance for materials, and sustainable product usage policies.
