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

The Product and Service Code (PSC) M1LB covers operation and maintenance of highways, roads, streets, bridges, and railways. This category encompasses a wide range of infrastructure-related services including road construction, maintenance, repair, resurfacing, and support activities. Services typically involve grading, aggregate material supply, culvert installation, road surface improvements, and transportation infrastructure management for federal, state, and local government agencies.

Federal contract awards in this PSC category are predominantly issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and various state transportation authorities. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders ranging from approximately $7,500 to $1.5 million, with performance periods typically spanning 6-18 months. Small business set-asides are common, with many contracts designated for total small business, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns. Frequent contractors include regional construction and maintenance companies specializing in road infrastructure services, often performing work in western states like Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, and Oregon.

The most recent federal contract opportunity in this PSC category is a Bureau of Land Management solicitation for road maintenance work in Campbell County, Wyoming. The specific opportunity seeks a small business contractor to perform ditch blading, culvert installation, water bar repairs, and aggregate material screening. The contract is valued between $25,000 and $100,000, with a 60-day performance period. The solicitation demonstrates a typical approach for infrastructure maintenance contracts: detailed technical specifications, precise geographic requirements, and a focus on small business participation.
