1. Request and Legal Effect The National Park Service requests quotations for termite assessment and treatment and for removal and replacement of damaged drywall, insulation, and associated framing in two historic buildings at Fort Washington Park, 13551 Fort Washington Road, Fort Washington, Maryland 20744. The work covers Scope A and Scope B in Attachment 1, with the locations of work shown on Attachments 2 and 3 and building dimensions provided in Attachment 4.

Scope A and Scope B are interdependent and will be awarded as a single contract. The Contractor shall manage and perform both scope areas, including any subcontracted effort.

This RFQ is a total small business set-aside issued as an open-market solicitation on SAM.gov in accordance with DOI RFO Section 12 and the FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition framework. Quotations are solicited only from small business concerns under NAICS 236220 and the $45.0 million size standard. The selected concern must have an active registration in the System for Award Management and be otherwise eligible for award. The solicitation notice and every amendment are published in SAM.gov. Supplemental email outreach does not replace or change the official SAM.gov record.

The Government intends to issue one firm-fixed-price purchase order for the complete work described in Attachment 1.

A quotation is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government's signed purchase order is the Government's offer. A binding contract results only when the selected supplier accepts the purchase order in writing or begins substantial performance. No work may begin until authorized by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the resulting purchase order.

2. Price Schedule The firm-fixed price shall include all labor, materials, supervision, licensed pest-control services, termiticides, equipment, tools, permits, protection of historic fabric, containment, trenching, drilling, injection, selective demolition, temporary shoring/support as required, replacement framing and insulation, gypsum-board work, finish mock-up, low-VOC primer, cleanup, lawful offsite disposal, restoration, transportation, travel, project management, required submittals and closeout documents, warranty obligations, follow-up termite inspections, overhead, profit, and every incidental cost necessary for a complete result in accordance with Attachment 1.

CLIN Description Quantity Unit Firm-fixed price

00010 Scope A - Termite Assessment and Treatment, in accordance with Attachment 1 (final termite assessment to be conducted 12 months after initial treatment)

1 AU $__________

00020 Scope B - Removal and Replacement of Damaged Drywall, Insulation, and Associated Framing, in accordance with Attachment

1 AU $__________

Total evaluated firm-fixed price (CLIN 00010 + CLIN 00020): $__________ The total evaluated firm-fixed price is the sum of CLIN 00010 and CLIN 00020. The informational price breakdown requested in section 7 does not create additional award items. For payment administration, the quoter shall identify the portion of CLIN 00010 attributable to the initial termite assessment/treatment work and the portion retained for the 6-month and 12-month follow-up requirements. The full CLIN 00020 amount is payable under Payment Milestone 1. These milestone allocations do not alter the scope or firm-fixed price of either CLIN.

Payment Milestone 1 - Initial Work Completion and Acceptance: $__________. This milestone consists of the full CLIN 00020 amount plus the quoter-identified initial-treatment portion of CLIN 00010. It is payable after completion of the initial Scope A termite assessment/treatment work and all Scope B construction/repair work, submission of the required initial closeout documentation, and Government inspection and acceptance of that work.

Payment Milestone 2 - Final Follow-Up Acceptance: $__________. This milestone consists of the remaining retained portion of CLIN 00010 and is the final payment. It is payable only after completion and Government acceptance of both the 6-month and 12-month termite follow-up inspections, acceptance of the associated inspection/treatment records, and completion of any corrective treatment and reinspection required to confirm that no active termite infestation remains.

Payment Milestone 1 plus Payment Milestone 2 must equal the combined firm-fixed price of CLIN 00010 and CLIN 00020. The CLIN 00010 milestone allocations must equal the total CLIN 00010 price, and the entire CLIN 00020 price shall be included in Payment Milestone 1. Invoices shall be submitted through the Invoice Processing Platform in accordance with the resulting purchase order and shall identify the applicable CLIN(s), milestone, and supporting acceptance documentation. No milestone invoice may be submitted before Government acceptance of that milestone.

3. Place and Period of Performance Work will be performed at Fort Washington Park, 13551 Fort Washington Road, Fort Washington, MD 20744, in the buildings and surrounding treatment areas identified in Attachment 1 and shown on Attachments 2 and 3. Building dimensions are provided in Attachment 4.

The overall period of performance is one year from the date of award. The Contractor shall initiate and coordinate all required site-access approvals immediately after award and obtain required access approval within 15 days after award. The Contractor shall begin onsite work within 15 days after receipt of access approval. The Contractor shall target completion of the initial termite treatment and construction/repair work within 60 days and complete that initial work no later than 90 days after award. The one-year period of performance includes two required termite follow-up inspections, one at approximately the 6-month milestone and one at approximately the 12-month milestone, to verify that no active termite infestation remains. For purposes of this RFQ, these two inspections clarify and supersede the single 6-12 month follow-up reference in Attachment 1.

Normal onsite business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The Contractor shall coordinate its specific onsite work schedule with the Contracting Officer and COR five days prior to the performance start date. Work outside normal business hours requires prior approval by the COR or other authorized park management representative as provided in Attachment 1.

The Contractor shall initiate and coordinate all necessary site-access approvals immediately after award. Required access approval shall be obtained within 15 days after award, and onsite work shall begin within 15 days after receipt of access approval. The Contractor shall coordinate access, badging/credentials if applicable, and the specific onsite work schedule with the Contracting Officer and COR or authorized park management representative.

4. Mandatory Prequotation Site Visit and Field Verification A prequotation site walk-through is mandatory. Each quoter shall inspect the work areas with the Contracting Officer's Representative or other authorized park management representative present before submitting its quotation. The plans and building dimensions in Attachments 2 through 4, together with any other provided maps, drawings, and photographs, are reference information only and are not a substitute for the mandatory site visit.

The quoter shall field verify existing conditions, quantities of framing, insulation, and drywall requiring removal and replacement, extents of damage, treatment access, and other access constraints. Quantities shown in the SOW, drawings, photographs, or other documentation are approximate and for reference only. Failure to perform field verification is not grounds for additional compensation after award.

The mandatory site visit will be held Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Meet at Fort Washington Park - Interior of Fort Washington, 13551 Fort Washington Road, Fort Washington, MD 20744. Site-visit point of contact: Sarah Wagner, sarah_wagner@nps.gov, (771) 241-7952.

Any discrepancy between observed conditions and the solicitation documents shall be submitted to the Government before quotation submission in accordance with section 5.

5. Written Questions and Amendments Email questions to richard_burns@ios.doi.gov no later than Friday, September 18, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Questions must be submitted in writing and should identify RFQ 140P3026Q0045 and the SOW section involved.

The Government will publish every substantive question and answer through a written solicitation amendment in SAM.gov and furnish that amendment at the same time to every known solicitation recipient and every prospective source that requested the solicitation. A private communication, oral statement, or response from any other source does not change this RFQ.

A question received after the deadline may be answered only if the Contracting Officer determines that the answer will benefit all quoters and time permits issuance of a written amendment before closing. Each quoter shall acknowledge every amendment in its quotation.

6. Quotation Submission Email the complete quotation to richard_burns@ios.doi.gov no later than Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.

8. Evaluation and Selection

8.1 Technical Acceptability

The Government will rate technical acceptability as Acceptable or Unacceptable. A quotation is Acceptable only if it:

1. Takes no material exception to this RFQ or any attachment and satisfies every material solicitation requirement.

2. Documents completion of the mandatory prequotation site visit and field verification.

3. Quotes both CLIN 00010/Scope A and CLIN 00020/Scope B as one complete requirement and demonstrates a feasible integrated approach for performance in the historic buildings.

4. For Scope A, demonstrates use of a licensed pest-control professional, compliant professional-grade termiticide, inspection/assessment, interior and perimeter treatment, historic-resource protection, environmental controls, restoration, documentation, and the required 6- and 12-month follow-up inspections.

5. For Scope B, demonstrates a feasible approach for controlled demolition, structural/framing replacement, insulation, gypsum-board installation, ASTM/GA standards, finish mock-up, Level 4/5 finishing as applicable, primer, historic-finish matching, dust/ventilation controls, and closeout.

6. Addresses the SOW hazardous-material stop-work/notification requirements and protection of park staff and visitors.

7. Provides a feasible project schedule consistent with access approval within 15 days after award;

commencement of onsite work within 15 days after receipt of access approval; the 60-day target/90-day outside limit for initial treatment and construction work; Government-review periods; and the one-year follow-up schedule established in the RFQ.

A quotation rated Unacceptable is ineligible for award. The Government will not pay a premium for technical superiority under this evaluation method.

8.2 Price

The Government will evaluate the aggregate total firm-fixed price for CLIN 00010 and CLIN 00020 and determine price reasonableness. The Government may also consider the individual CLIN prices and informational price breakdown when assessing reasonableness. The Government may use competition, the informational price breakdown, the independent Government estimate, historical prices adjusted for relevant differences, available market information, or any combination of those methods.

If a quotation requests use of foreign construction material based on unreasonable cost, the Government will apply FAR 52.225-10, if included in the final solicitation.

8.3 Responsibility and Eligibility

Before award, the Government will verify the prospective contractor's active SAM registration, exclusions, responsibility, and small-business status under NAICS 236220. Small-business status under the assigned NAICS and the $45.0 million size standard is an award-eligibility condition for this total small business set-aside.

8.4 Exchanges and Purchase-Order Issuance

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue the purchase order without exchanges. Each initial quotation should contain the quoter's best terms. The Government may conduct fair exchanges, request a revised quotation, reject any or all quotations, or waive informalities and minor irregularities when the Contracting Officer determines that action is in the Government's interest. An Award will go to the responsible, eligible small business submitting the lowest-priced technically acceptable quotation. The Government also reserves the right to make no award if no technically acceptable quotation is received.

9. Order Administration The Contract Specialist is the preaward solicitation contact identified in the RFQ information table. The Contract Specialist is not the Contracting Officer unless expressly identified as such.

Only the Contracting Officer may issue the purchase order, authorize performance, change the requirement, change the price or completion period, accept nonconforming work, or modify the resulting purchase order.

The Contracting Officer will designate a COR at award. The COR may coordinate access and scheduling, monitor performance, inspect the work, review submittals and mock-ups, and document acceptance within the written delegation.

The COR may not change the purchase order.

The Government will not pay for quotation preparation or work performed without authorization.

9.1 Historic Resources, Safety, Environmental Protection, and Site Use The Contractor shall perform all work with care around historic structures, finishes, landscapes, and other NPS property and shall comply with the protection, access, public-safety, environmental, spill-control, pesticide, dust-control, restoration, and stop-work requirements of Attachment 1. Accidental damage shall be reported immediately to the COR or other authorized park management representative and restored by the Contractor in accordance with the SOW.

The Contractor shall safeguard nonpublic Government information received or generated during contract performance in accordance with FAR 52.240-93 if that clause is included in the final solicitation. The Government will provide facility-entry and security instructions during postaward coordination.

9.2 Milestone Invoicing and Acceptance

The Contractor may submit a Payment Milestone 1 invoice only after the Government has inspected and accepted the completed initial Scope A termite assessment/treatment work, all Scope B construction/repair work, and the required initial closeout documentation. Payment Milestone 1 shall include the full CLIN 00020 amount and the awarded initial-treatment portion of CLIN 00010. The Contractor may submit the Payment Milestone 2 final invoice only after the Government has accepted both the 6-month and 12-month termite follow-up inspections, the associated records, and any corrective treatment or reinspection required to confirm that no active termite infestation remains. Payment Milestone 2 shall consist of the remaining retained portion of CLIN 00010.

The sum of Payment Milestone 1 and Payment Milestone 2 shall not exceed the combined firm-fixed price of CLIN 00010 and CLIN 00020. The sum of the two CLIN 00010 milestone allocations shall equal the CLIN 00010 firm-fixed price, and the full CLIN 00020 price shall be paid under Payment Milestone 1. Government inspection or acceptance for payment does not waive any warranty or other contract requirement.

SECTION I - CONTRACT CLAUSES

FAR 52.212-4 Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (MAR

(l) Termination for the Government’s convenience. The Government reserves the right to terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. The Government will send a cure notice to the Contractor, unless the reason for the termination is late delivery. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(n) Title. Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, title to items furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered under this contract are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

(p) Limitation of liability. Except as otherwise provided by an express warranty, the Contractor will not be liable to the Government for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items.

(3) Other contract clauses incorporated in the solicitation or contract;

(4) Addenda to this solicitation or contract;

(5) Solicitation provisions incorporated in the solicitation;

(6) Other paragraphs of this clause;

(7) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments; and

(s) Unauthorized obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (s)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government-authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (s)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(t) Comptroller General examination of record. This paragraph applies if this contract was awarded using other than sealed bid procedures and is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold on the date of award of this contract.

(1) The Comptroller General of the United States, or an authorized representative of the Comptroller General, shall have access to and right to examine any of the Contractor’s directly pertinent records involving transactions related to this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall make available at its offices, at all reasonable times, the records, materials, and other evidence for examination, audit, or reproduction, until 3 years after final payment under this contract or for any shorter period specified in FAR part 4, longer period required by statute, or periods specified in other clauses of this contract. If this contract is completely or partially terminated, the records relating to the work terminated shall be made available for 3 years after any resulting final termination settlement. Records relating to appeals under the disputes clause or to litigation or the settlement of claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be made available until such appeals, litigation, or claims are finally resolved.

(3) As used in this clause, records include books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of form. This clause does not require the Contractor to create or maintain any record that the Contractor does not maintain in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a provision of law.

(u) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
