Purchase Of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, And Railways

The Product and Service Code (PSC) E1LB covers the purchase of highways, roads, streets, bridges, and railways infrastructure and related materials. This category encompasses procurement activities focused on transportation-related construction and maintenance materials, particularly gravel, culverts, and other foundational components used in road and bridge projects. The PSC represents a critical segment of infrastructure development and maintenance for federal agencies, particularly those managing public lands and facilities.

Federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate a consistent pattern of small business set-aside purchase orders, predominantly issued by the Department of the Interior's agencies such as the National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service. Contract values in the provided sample range from $42,067 to $130,250, with typical performance periods spanning several months within a fiscal year. The awards consistently utilize firm fixed-price purchase orders and frequently target small businesses, including small disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises. Project locations have included diverse geographic regions such as Hawaii, Arizona, and Maine, with specific projects involving gravel procurement, parking lot improvements, and bridge culvert replacements.

The available data does not include information about current federal contract opportunities for this PSC category. The summary is therefore limited to the analysis of existing contract awards, which provide insight into the types of infrastructure-related procurements being executed by federal agencies, particularly those managing national parks and wildlife refuges.
