Natural Resources/Conservation- Recreation Site Maintenance (Non-Construction)

Product and Service Code (PSC) F008 covers Natural Resources/Conservation- Recreation Site Maintenance (Non-Construction) services. These services generally involve maintaining, managing, and operating recreational facilities, campgrounds, and natural areas for federal agencies. The scope includes tasks such as park gate attendant services, cleaning, maintenance, fee collection, visitor assistance, and grounds upkeep at various federal recreational sites. The services support the operational needs of agencies like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service in maintaining public recreational spaces.

The federal contract awards under PSC F008 predominantly feature small business set-aside contracts, with most awards ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 and covering seasonal periods typically from spring through fall. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District is the most frequent awarding agency, consistently purchasing park gate attendant services across recreational areas in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. Common contractors are small, often local sole proprietorships and small business entities specializing in park management and maintenance. Awards consistently utilize total small business set-asides and are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders with performance periods aligned to peak recreational seasons.

Recent federal contract opportunities under PSC F008 continue the trend of soliciting maintenance and operational services for recreational sites. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has posted opportunities for services including park attendant positions, janitorial services, mowing and maintenance, and invasive species control at various recreational locations. These opportunities are typically set aside for small businesses, cover regions like Nebraska, Minnesota, and the southeastern United States, and require contractors to provide comprehensive site maintenance including cleaning, grounds keeping, visitor services, and specialized environmental management tasks.
