W911KB-13-B-0002 Perryville Launch Ramp

Solicitation W911KB-13-B-0002 was an Invitation for Bids issued by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Alaska, for the construction of a concrete plank launch ramp, an aggregate storage pad, and a connecting aggregate road at the Perryville Barge Landing in Perryville, Alaska. This project was designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237990. The procurement process involved multiple amendments between October 2012 and January 2013, which addressed technical specifications, updated plan sheets, and extended bid deadlines to ensure comprehensive project requirements and design analysis were communicated to potential bidders. On February 14, 2013, the Department of Defense issued Amendment 0005, which canceled the solicitation in its entirety. This action was taken pursuant to the authority of FAR 14.404-1(c)(1) and (6) and DFARS 214.404-1. The cancellation was necessitated by inadequate or ambiguous specifications and the receipt of bids at unreasonable prices, or a lack of sufficient bids to determine price reasonableness.
