Indefinite Delivery Contract 12445224D0028

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Forest Service, a civilian agency under the Department of Agriculture, to Tag Contracting, Inc., a for-profit, DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). The $10 million, single-award IDC is for maintenance, repair, and construction services for roads within the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests in South Carolina. The required services include grading, ditch cleaning, culvert maintenance, brushing, mowing, spot surfacing, as well as more extensive construction activities such as clearing, excavation, paving, and bridge work. This is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside contract with a primary NAICS code of 237310 Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction and a $45 million small business size standard. The period of performance runs through July 31, 2029, and the Government is not obligated to award any task orders beyond the guaranteed minimum of $2,500 per responsive contractor. Most task orders are expected to be valued under $150,000, and the Government reserves the right to recompete this requirement or use other contracting methods for similar work during the term of the contract.

The original presolicitation notice provided details on the scope of required services, the contracting vehicle, and the procurement strategy. The contract will be structured as a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (IDIQ), with the lowest cost responsive proposal from the awarded contractors receiving each task order. The Request for Proposal is expected to be released on or around May 13, 2024, with proposals due approximately 30 days later. This IDC will provide the Forest Service with a flexible, competitive mechanism to maintain and improve the road infrastructure within the two national forests over the next five years.
