56--TX-MCFADDIN NWR- LIMESTONE GRAVEL (NORTH)

The contract awarded under solicitation number 140FS226Q0073 is for the supply and delivery of up to 2,325 tons of crushed limestone gravel, Grade A, Road B, to McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge in Sabine Pass, Texas, with a period of performance from July 1, 2026, to September 30, 2026. The contract is a firm-fixed-price, 100 percent small business set-aside administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s SAT Team 2 under the Department of the Interior, with the primary point of contact being Khalilah Brown. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination, meaning the Government will inspect and accept the material upon arrival at the refuge, with acceptance authority resting solely with the Government. The evaluation process prioritizes technically acceptable quotes with competitive delivery lead times and awards to the lowest-priced responsible offeror, utilizing a best-value trade-off approach rather than a lowest-priced technically acceptable model. The contractor must demonstrate past performance through three examples of similar federal, state, or local gravel delivery projects. The contract incorporates a comprehensive suite of mandatory Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, including those related to whistleblower protections, trafficking in persons, executive compensation reporting, cybersecurity restrictions on ByteDance and covered telecommunications equipment, and subcontractor restrictions. Compliance with federal statutes and regulations such as the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements Act, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and DPAS is required, though no specific material standards like ASTM or MIL-SPEC are cited beyond the NAICS code 212321. Invoicing must be conducted electronically through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no use of WAWF. While no formal packaging, marking, or preservation specifications are included, compliance with origin labeling and supply chain security requirements is implied. Accounting data such as TAS, AAC, or ACRN are required but not provided in the document, and no contract value is specified due to the absence of unit pricing. Offerors are obligated to submit UEI and CAGE codes as part of socioeconomic and ownership certifications, and all submissions must adhere to FAR 52.212-1, 52.212-3, and 52.212-5 instructions, with proposals due by April 1, 2026, at 1700 EDT.
