Y--GRCA 318719 CONSTRUCT TEMP. WWTP AT NORT

The project involves the installation of a temporary wastewater treatment plant at the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park under contract number GRCA 318719, with solicitation number 140P2026R0075, issued by the Department of the Interior’s DSC Contracting Services Division. The facility is intended to support campground and visitor operations during upgrades to the permanent wastewater system, ensuring continued compliance with Arizona Department of Environmental Quality effluent standards. The North Rim site poses significant logistical challenges as a remote, high-elevation location with seasonal access limited to May through October and constrained road and staging areas, though helicopter transport will not be needed for equipment or materials. The estimated contract value exceeds $10 million, with a projected performance period of 420 calendar days following notice to proceed, and the place of performance is confirmed as North Rim Grand Canyon, AZ 86023. This procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237110, with a size standard of $45 million, and the government seeks to maximize opportunities for small businesses, veteran-owned, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses. All offerors must maintain an active SAM registration and possess a DUNS number. The solicitation is currently in pre-solicitation status, with the formal request for proposals expected to be issued in June 2026, and response deadlines listed for July 29, 2026. Though definitive technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and contract administration details have not yet been released, the project carries a high expectation of funding availability despite being classified as unfunded at this stage.
