W--NAMA - LINCOLN MEMORIAL LIGHT TOWER

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through the Washington Contracting Office in Lakewood, Colorado, is procuring specialized light towers under solicitation 140P3026Q0025 to fully illuminate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., from June 10 to June 24, 2026, in response to urgent security and safety needs. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-2 due to compelling and urgent circumstances, including the scarcity of commercially available equipment capable of meeting the specific illumination requirements at this high-profile national landmark, resulting in a sole-source award. The solicitation is set aside entirely for small businesses under FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 532310 indicating a focus on commercial and industrial machinery and equipment rental and leasing. No formal contract clauses, packaging or marking requirements, evaluation factors, or detailed specifications are provided, and the contract value remains unspecified due to the absence of pricing data, CLINs, or cost breakdowns. The place of performance is explicitly the Reflecting Pool, while the contracting office in Colorado handles administrative functions. Delivery must be completed in time for the 15-day operational window, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the site upon deployment. The Contracting Officer is Casey Winters, and Richard Burns is the primary point of contact for inquiries. No COTR or COR is identified, and no invoicing method, payment office details, or accounting codes such as TAS or AAC are specified. The procurement relies on simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13, with price reasonableness assessed through market research and historical comparisons rather than a competitive bidding process. All submissions must be received by June 9, 2026, at the Lakewood office, though electronic submission details and proposal formatting instructions are not outlined.
