The PSC Code Z2KZ covers Repair or Alteration of Other Conservation and Development Facilities, encompassing a broad range of infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects for federal conservation sites. These projects typically involve infrastructure rehabilitation, equipment replacement, and structural repairs for national wildlife refuges, environmental facilities, and conservation areas. The work includes maintaining critical infrastructure such as pumps, water control structures, levees, bridges, and other essential systems that support environmental conservation efforts.
The federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of repair and restoration projects, predominantly awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Contract values range from approximately $5,000 to over $9 million, with performance periods typically spanning six to eighteen months. Frequent contractors include Widman, Inc., Rock-N-Road Construction, and B&B Construction. Many awards utilize small business set-asides, particularly total small business and 8(a) sole source designations. Project locations are predominantly in southern and western states, including Alaska, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, with work focused on maintaining critical environmental and water management infrastructure.
The federal contract opportunities in this PSC category continue the theme of infrastructure maintenance and restoration for conservation facilities. Recent solicitations include a pump rehabilitation project at Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, piping materials for wetland restoration at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, and an emergency river pump replacement at Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho. These opportunities are predominantly set aside for small businesses, with NAICS codes typically in the 221310 (water and sewer line and related structures construction) and 238120 (commercial and institutional building construction) categories. The solicitations emphasize technical specifications, compliance with wage requirements, and the need for specialized infrastructure maintenance capabilities.
