Y--SC Multi Parks (CONG, COWP, KIMO, NISI) - Pavement

The Department of the Interior, through its Dsc Contracting Services Division, is conducting market research for a forthcoming pavement preservation contract targeting four national park sites in South Carolina: Congeree National Park, Cowpens National Battlefield, Kings Mountain National Military Park, and Ninety Six National Historic Site. This effort, identified by solicitation number 140P2026R0054 and classified under NAICS code 237310, is currently a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) intended to gather industry input to determine the viability of a small business or socio-economic set-aside, not to solicit bids. The work involves pavement preservation activities across approximately 11.48 roadway miles and 0.71 parking miles, with the goal of extending pavement life while minimizing disruption to public access. The anticipated contract will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) agreement, with a projected performance period of 132 calendar days following the Notice to Proceed, including allowances for weather-related delays. Construction must remain compatible with park operations, with critical constraints prohibiting any work in Congeree during the Synchronized Firefly Festival (mid-May to early-June) and between October 15–18, and requiring all construction at Kings Mountain to end before October 1. All roads and parking areas must remain fully accessible during the week of July 4th at every site, and winter construction may also be required. Limited staging areas are available adjacent to or within the project zones, requiring pre-approval from the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The government anticipates issuing a competitive Request for Proposals in fall 2026, and the contract will require Bid, Performance, and Payment Bonds, along with applicable insurance coverage. Contractors must also comply with state and local permitting and licensing requirements. Interested parties are requested to submit company information, including UEI, point of contact, and SBA certifications such as EDWOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and Native American-owned designations to assist in determining potential set-aside eligibility.
