Z--MT-BOWDOIN NWR-HQ OFFICE FLOORS

Solicitation 140FGA26Q0074 is a firm-fixed-price construction project for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove and replace flooring at the Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters in Malta, Montana. The scope of work involves the removal and disposal of existing carpet and cove base and the installation of approximately 2,485 square feet of US-made luxury vinyl plank flooring, including an acoustical moisture barrier membrane and new cove base. The project is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238330, with an expected contract magnitude of less than 25,000 dollars. Performance is scheduled to occur between November 2, 2026, and December 31, 2026, with a requirement to commence work within 14 days of the notice to proceed and complete all tasks within 60 days. Award will be based on the best value to the government, evaluating price, technical capability, and past experience. Technical requirements include providing product brochures, warranty information, and proof of a current Montana Contractor's License. Past experience is evaluated based on three similar projects completed within the last three years. The contract is subject to Davis-Bacon wage determinations and Buy American requirements for all materials. Payment will be processed electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform, and the contractor must provide certified payrolls and a release of claims with the final invoice. Bonding is not anticipated given the project magnitude, though thresholds remain for awards exceeding 35,000 dollars for payment bonds and 150,000 dollars for performance bonds.
