Important Notice to Contractors.docx

This document is an Important Notice to Contractors regarding the Water System Upgrades Santa Fe National Forest solicitation (Solicitation Number: 127EAX25R0021). Due to a government shutdown, the solicitation has undergone critical modifications, including the cancellation of the previously scheduled site visit and an extension of the proposal due date to November 7th, 2025. All project dates remain subject to change pending the resolution of the government shutdown.

The project, managed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, involves replacing three drinking water systems across different locations in the Santa Fe National Forest: Jacks Creek Campground, Field Tract Campground, and the Panchuela Administrative site. These are high-use recreational and administrative areas requiring water system infrastructure upgrades. Contractors with questions are instructed to contact the Temporary Contracting Officer, Troy McCullough, at troy.mccullough@usda.gov. The original site visit was planned for October 15th, 2025, beginning at the Pecos Las Vegas Ranger Station in Pecos, New Mexico, though this has been suspended due to the government shutdown.
