The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its FWS SAT Team 3, is soliciting proposals for garage door repair and replacement services at the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge in Dover, Tennessee, under solicitation number 140FS326Q0110. This is a firm-fixed-price commercial procurement issued as a total small business set-aside exclusively for Women-Owned Small Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, and 8(a) Program participants. The performance period spans from August 15, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with FOB destination delivery terms requiring the contractor to deliver and install the repaired or replaced garage door and lift motor at the site. The contract includes an option to extend services for up to six months total, to be exercised at the government’s discretion and subject to labor rate adjustments. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 12:00 PM Eastern Time on August 6, 2026, to the contracting officer’s email address and must include a completed SF 1449 form, a detailed technical approach narrative demonstrating compliance with the Statement of Work, identification of key personnel and any subcontractors, and three verifiable examples of past performance involving similar garage door repair services. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off process where technical experience, capacity, expertise, and past performance are significantly more important than price, and awards will be made to the offeror most advantageous to the government. Mandatory certifications include SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI, certification of small business status, compliance with the Service Contract Act, adherence to paid sick leave requirements under Executive Order 13706, and full compliance with clauses addressing whistleblower rights, subcontractor integrity, DEI discrimination prohibitions, personal identity verification, and exclusive use of the IPP system for invoicing.

All submissions must be responsive to the specific location, proximity, and technical demands of the refuge’s facility requirements.
