Z--Emergency Pothole Repair - National Capital Region

The contract authorizes a sole-source award under simplified acquisition procedures for emergency pothole repair services across multiple National Park Service locations in the National Capital Region, driven by the urgent need to prepare infrastructure for the America 250 Celebration. The work, to be performed by Patch Management, Inc., a small business concern, requires the use of specialized self-contained spray injection patching equipment capable of delivering instant, traffic-ready repairs through high-pressure air cleaning, metered asphalt emulsion delivery, and high-velocity injection of aggregate, all while maintaining operational continuity without road closures. The contract’s performance period spans from May 1, 2026, through July 4, 2026, with preparatory activities beginning in April and critical repairs aligned to meet the July 4 deadline, though non-critical work may extend through June. The award is justified under FAR 1.102 and FAR 13.106-3 due to the unique and proprietary nature of the contractor’s equipment, which no other vendor can provide in the necessary timeframe, and the compelling operational need to support federal events tied to Executive Order 14252. No formal evaluation factors, cost breakdowns, or detailed pricing data are included, as the procurement bypasses competition under simplified acquisition thresholds. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at each repair location, with the government retaining authority to verify quality, durability, and immediate usability based on performance outcomes rather than prescriptive standards. The contractor must employ ICC-certified recirculation systems and integrated directional arrow boards for safety, but no packaging, marking, or preservation requirements are specified, reflecting the service-based nature of the effort. The contracting office is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the Department of the Interior’s Northeast Regional Contracting, with point of contact Brian McCabe, but no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical oversight personnel are explicitly named. The procurement uses NAICS code 237310, operates under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 provisions, and lacks standard contract clauses, special requirements, or submission instructions, consistent with its emergency, non-competitive nature. No financing details, invoice procedures, or accounting codes are included in the documentation.
