The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is conducting market research through a sources sought synopsis for a firm-fixed-price contract to replace and modify interior and exterior door hardware at the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in Denio, Nevada. The primary objective is to convert the facility to a Best Lock interchangeable core system to ensure compatibility with other refuge facilities. The scope of work includes providing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for installation, as well as performing field verification of door types and frame configurations. All work must adhere to the International Building Code, ADA Accessibility Guidelines, ANSI/BHMA standards, and OSHA safety regulations. Interested firms must be registered in SAM.gov under NAICS code 238290 and submit their capabilities statement by November 6, 2026. Responses are limited to five pages and must include a maximum of three relevant projects completed within the last five years, along with detailed contract data and socioeconomic status. The government is using this process to determine if the requirement can be set aside for small businesses or other socioeconomic programs such as HUBZone or EDWOSB. While the period of performance is listed inconsistently as either 60 or 120 days from the notice to proceed, final acceptance will be based on successful inspections, operational testing, and the submission of warranties and closeout documents.
