R--DK ONSITE RESCUE TEAM

The contract is for an onsite rescue team to provide emergency response services at six Bureau of Reclamation facilities during the operation, testing, and inspection of emergency, regulating, and radial gates in outlet works. Performance is required at Keyhole State Park in Wyoming, Shadehill in South Dakota, Belle Fourche Reservoir and Pactola Dam in South Dakota, Angostura Irrigation District in South Dakota, and Deerfield Reservoir. The contract is a firm-fixed price agreement lasting from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, with a base year and four optional years, each requiring eight hours of rescue team availability per facility annually except for Belle Fourche Reservoir in Option Year 4, where the quantity is unspecified. The rescue team must remain on-site for the full duration of gate inspections and be prepared to respond to emergencies, with all team members holding appropriate certifications to comply with Reclamation Safety and Health Standards (RSHS) Section 1.12 for permit-required confined space entry. This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561990, with a size standard of $16.5 million, and requires compliance with mandatory FAR clauses including 52.219-6 for set-aside notification and 52.219-28 for postaward small business rerepresentation. Offerors must submit a complete price schedule with all line items quoted, and failure to do so will render the proposal non-responsive. Proposals must also include a detailed description of the means and methods for performing onsite rescue services, as technical compliance is a mandatory gate. All offers are due by July 14, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time, and must be submitted to Contracting Officer Natalie Oslund. The evaluation process uses a tradeoff analysis, giving equal and combined importance to technical capability and past performance, with price being secondary. Payment will be processed exclusively through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), requiring contractors to register via the IPP website; failure to comply requires a written waiver submitted with the proposal. Contractors must maintain active SAM registration and adhere to all representations and certifications incorporated by reference via FAR 52.204-19. Security requirements mandate strict compliance with Reclamation policies regarding sensitive information as defined under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act, with unauthorized access or noncompliance potentially leading to employee removal or
