NCR-NAMA: A250 NAVY MEMORIAL FLAGPOLES

This solicitation, numbered 140P3026Q0019 and titled NCR-NAMA: A250 NAVY MEMORIAL FLAGPOLES, is a firm-fixed-price contract issued by the Department of the Interior’s National Park Service through its NCR Regional Contracting Acquisition Management Division in Washington, DC. The requirement involves sandblasting, priming, and repainting six Navy Memorial flagpoles located at 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20004, with work scheduled to occur between June 29, 2026, and July 31, 2026. The project demands full compliance with SSPC-SP10 surface preparation standards, application of commercial-grade exterior primers and finishes, and strict adherence to environmental containment and safety protocols. All work must be performed by a small business as this is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238320, and only offers from certified small businesses registered in SAM with an active UEI and CAGE code will be considered. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, scaffolding, lifts, and safety systems, including barriers to restrict public access, and ensure the protection and reinstallation of nearby lighting fixtures. Work must be scheduled and coordinated through the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with access to government utility services provided at no cost. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value trade-off approach, where technical acceptability serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate based on adherence to the Statement of Work, including capability in SSPC-SP10 surface prep, compatible coating application, adequate safety controls, and lighting fixture handling. Price evaluation focuses on total cost covering labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals. Award will be granted to the offeror providing the greatest overall value, which may not be the lowest price if superior technical merit, reduced risk, or higher probability of successful performance is demonstrated. Required contract clauses include protections for whistleblowers, prohibitions on confidential internal agreements, cybersecurity safeguards under FAR 52.240-91 and -93, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, electronic funds transfer compliance, dispute resolution procedures, and adherence to trade agreements and equal opportunity standards. All payments must be submitted electronically through the Treasury’s IPP system within 30 days of completion, and the contractor must maintain general liability insurance while indemnifying the government against all claims.
