The work requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and transportation necessary to complete the tow, including securing all deck items and attached floating docks prior to movement, and providing 100 gallons of diesel fuel for the barge’s on-board generator tanks. The primary performance period runs from June 15 to July 2, 2026, with the delivery deadline set for June 1, 2026, and the option period extending through November 30, 2026. The solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 483113 and is issued as a Firm-Fixed Price, Non-Personal Services contract by the USDA-FS CSA Northwest 4. The offer due date has been extended to June 18, 2026, at 1200 Alaska Standard Time, with proposals required to be submitted electronically to two designated email addresses and must include separate files for Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price in specified formats. Contractors must possess a current U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain with an active endorsed license and a vessel with valid USCG registration and, if applicable, a current Certificate of Inspection under 46 CFR Subchapter M. Past performance must be acceptable, and failure to meet any pass/fail gate, including licensing, vessel documentation, or past performance, results in disqualification. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses with deviations, including requirements for whistleblower rights, prohibition of inverted domestic corporations, government property management, security prohibitions, and compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. Payment is contingent upon compliance with all material terms, and failure to meet requirements such as non-discrimination or certification obligations may result in ineligibility for funding or liability under the False Claims Act.

Annual Barge Service KALAThe contract provides for annual barge service operations between Honolulu, Hawaii, and Kalaupapa National Historic Park on Molokai, with a base performance period running from June 16, 2026, to June 15, 2027, and three optional one-year extensions through June 15, 2029, plus a potential six-month extension under FAR 52.217-8. The service includes loading, transporting, off-loading, and re-loading cargo in sealed and open-deck containers, including aggregate, fuel drums, equipment, and waste materials, all while complying with a Spill Prevention and Containment Plan and adhering to federal environmental regulations. The contractor must use U.S.-flag commercial vessels as mandated by FAR 52.247-64 with Alternate I and Alternate II, and must ensure all containers are properly identified with operational codes and stowage plans without requiring MIL-STD specifications. Performance is measured by strict defect thresholds: zero validated defects per year for core loading/unloading tasks and no more than one validated defect annually for scheduling, equipment accuracy, and container integrity, with inspections conducted via 100% verification or customer complaints. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price commercial acquisition under FAR Subpart 12.6, with pricing submitted in two separate volumes—technical and price—each as a PDF, with the technical proposal capped at two pages. Offerors must demonstrate technical feasibility, past performance, and commitment to small business participation, with non-price factors weighted more heavily than price in a trade-off evaluation process. All contractors must comply with extensive FAR clauses governing ethics, whistleblower rights, supply chain security (including prohibitions on Kaspersky, ByteDance, and certain telecommunications equipment), labor standards (including minimum wage and paid sick leave under Executive Orders), equal opportunity for veterans and individuals with disabilities, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. The contractor is required to submit a Quality Control Plan and progress meeting minutes, and all submissions must be made electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Pacific West Region, Honolulu MABO, is the contracting office, with Lei Yang as the primary point of contact, and proposals must be submitted by April 17, 2026, with no contract value disclosed due to placeholder pricing fields.
