About this award
The National Park Service awarded a $7.89 million definitive contract to Orcom, A Division Of Ortega Companies, Inc. for complete replacement of the main water distribution system at Carlsbad Caverns National Park on May 11, 2026. Orcom is an SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant, minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business.
The originating solicitation (140P2026R0007, posted November 7, 2025) calls for full replacement of aged water distribution infrastructure to protect the caverns from pipe leakage, including a base contract and three optional line items: installing a master meter pit, relocating a lift station, and replacing a water transmission line. The government evaluated proposals using six equally weighted factors: project experience, technical and management approach, schedule, key personnel experience, past performance, and small business participation.
Place of performance is Carlsbad, NM. The contract runs on a firm fixed-price basis with an ultimate completion date of June 18, 2027—a 390-calendar-day performance period from notice to proceed. Liquidated damages are set at $1,498 per day for delays. Performance and payment bonds are required. Work involves complex infrastructure in a sensitive cultural and natural environment with requirements for rock trenching, proximity to historic structures, noise controls, and archaeological monitoring.
