The Department of the Interior's National Park Service (NPS) awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $154,875 to Patch Management Inc. (doing business as Patch Mgmnt Pothole Killers) on April 15, 2026, for emergency pothole patching and repair services across multiple sites in the National Capital Region. This sole-source contract was awarded without a set-aside designation under FAR Part 12 procedures due to urgent and compelling circumstances, with work to be performed in McLean, Virginia. The contracting officer determined that Patch Management Inc. was the only source capable of meeting the specialized technical and scheduling requirements necessary for this time-sensitive project, specifically requiring self-contained spray injection patching equipment with high-pressure air cleaning, metered asphalt emulsion delivery, and integrated safety arrow board systems to minimize traffic disruption in the District of Columbia and surrounding areas.
The primary objective of this procurement is to repair potholes across multiple NPS roadways in the National Capital Region before the America 250 Celebration events beginning May 1, 2026, in compliance with Executive Order 14252 on making the District of Columbia safe and beautiful. All pothole repairs must be completed by May 1, 2026. This contract award represents a continuation of the NPS's relationship with Patch Management Inc., which has received over $350,000 in federal contracts since 2019 for spray injection pothole repair services on the George Washington Memorial Parkway and Baltimore-Washington Parkway. The ultimate contract completion date is set for August 28, 2026.
