Y--Grand Canyon Industry Day for upcoming projects

The Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division has issued a Special Notice for an Industry Day event to inform industry partners of upcoming construction opportunities at Grand Canyon National Park, identified by solicitation number 140P2026R0080 and NAICS code 237110. This notice is not a solicitation but rather a preview of six major construction and rehabilitation projects expected to be formally solicited between summer 2026 and fall 2027 using a best-value, Design-Bid-Build Performance Work Statement approach. The projects include the rehabilitation of utility systems at the North Rim and Roaring Springs Pumphouse covering water, wastewater, power, and fiber communications; construction of two new Membrane Bio-Reactor wastewater treatment plants—one at the North Rim with a 0.13 MGD capacity and another at the South Rim with a 0.65 MGD capacity including demolition of existing infrastructure and a 12-month operational support period; installation of a temporary 90,000 gpd wastewater treatment plant to support visitor services during upgrades; construction of a climate-controlled heavy equipment maintenance facility for snowplows, graders, and other winter operation assets; and repair and restoration of potable water, sanitary sewer, and electrical distribution systems damaged by the 2025 Dragon Bravo wildfire. All work is scheduled to occur at Grand Canyon, AZ, with a postal code of 86203. Parties interested in participating must maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possess a Unique Entity Identifier. The event is managed by the agency’s office in Denver, Colorado, with James Waller listed as the primary point of contact. No contract value, pricing, delivery schedule, inspection criteria, or formal contract clauses are detailed, as this is purely an industry outreach activity to prepare contractors for future solicitations.
