The National Park Service Southeast Region awarded a contract to JL3 Consulting LLC, a small business, to provide phased delivery, pickup, central storage, and re-delivery services for twelve portable storage containers at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Under the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable source selection approach, the contractor will deliver climate-controlled, secure storage facilities within 50 miles of the park headquarters and coordinate the phased delivery and pickup schedule with the Contracting Officer's Representative. The contract, awarded on July 30, 2024, carries a ceiling value of $81,951.27 with a firm fixed price structure and an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2026.
This Total Small Business set-aside contract originated from a solicitation posted on June 28, 2024, under NAICS code 531130 for lessors of mini warehouses and self-storage units. The period of performance extends up to 24 months, comprising an initial base period with two optional 12-month extension years. A recent contract modification de-obligated excess base year funds, reducing Contract Line-Item 00010 by $35,976.34 and canceling Contract Line-Item 00011, reflecting adjustments to the contractor's estimated storage needs or operational costs.
