The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237310, with all offerors required to qualify as small businesses under the $45 million average annual receipts standard. Performance is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2026, and conclude by June 30, 2027, upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Work will be performed at designated sites along the specified road, with materials and equipment delivered directly to project locations and temporary storage permitted on federal lands with COR approval. The contract is a firm fixed price task order issued under an IDIQ base contract, with no specified total value due to blank unit pricing in the schedule, though multiple option clauses are included for potential increases in quantity or extension of services. The technical proposal and price proposal must be submitted as separate electronic documents by 11:00 a.m. CDT on June 30, 2026, to Thomas Tran at [email hidden]. Evaluation will be based on a best-value trade-off process, prioritizing acceptable or neutral past performance, a sound technical approach including understanding of site conditions and proposed schedule, demonstrated experience, overall acceptability of the response, and a fair and reasonable price that becomes decisive only if technical proposals are substantially equal. The contractor must comply with prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, adhere to all safety and environmental regulations including OSHA standards, and maintain documentation of all employees and subcontractors. Quality standards are defined by the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), which sets a 90% acceptable quality level for ditch maintenance and vegetation cutting.

Government property provisions, payment via Electronic Funds Transfer through IPP.gov, security requirements for information systems, and compliance with anti-trafficking and subcontracting rules are all incorporated.
