COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION

Rehabilitate Historic Fields

AT

Minute Man National Historical Park

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). Submit written quotes on RFQ Number 140P4326R0029.

The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01, March 13, 2026.

This solicitation is being issued as a Small Business Set-Aside, under NAICS code, 561730, Landscaping Services, with a small business size standard of $9.5M.

This combined solicitation/synopsis is for purchase of the following commercial services:

Rehabilitate Historic Fields

AT

Minute Man National Historical Park

The Government anticipates award of one (1) Firm-Fixed-Price Contract

Description of requirements is as follows:

A detailed description can be found in the attached Scope of Work (SOW).

Period of performance is anticipated to begin August 22, 2026 and be completed by September 30, 2027.

FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (NOV 2021) (DEVIATION NOV 2025), applies to this acquisition.

FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021) (DEVIATION NOV 2025), applies to this acquisition.

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors. All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. As proposals become more equal in technical merit, price may become a more significant consideration in the award decision. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

Technical Approach, Project Experience, Management Experience, Past Performance, and Cost/Price.

These factors are in descending order of importance. Technical Approach (Factor 1) and Project Experience (Factor 2) are significantly more important than Management Experience (Factor 3), which is more important than Past Performance (Factor 4). When combined, all non-price factors are significantly more important than price. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision. The evaluated price will not be rated or scored but will be a consideration for reasonableness and realism in the final source selection decision.

1. Technical Approach

Technical approach is the factual documentation of the firm’s ability to meet the specifications.

The firm’s means and methods to complete a technical aspect of required work in this solicitation. There is no preprinted form for this submittal. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposed technical approach, sequencing, scheduling, quality control, risk identification, and mitigation strategies for performing the work within the required performance period. This includes consideration of material lead times, potential cost volatility, and site-specific constraints associated with landscape rehabilitation, lead times, and potential cost volatility due to tariffs and elevated fuel costs.

Offerors shall submit a detailed narrative description of the proposed methods and approaches to performing the landscape rehabilitation work, as well as the Offeror’s understanding of the scope of work and capability to perform the work within the performance period. The proposed work plan shall include sequencing and coordination of all work, proof of required licenses, quality control reporting, scheduling, equipment to be used, and temporary contingency planning or risk buffers. The bidder will provide a Gantt-style schedule identifying the critical path, permit milestone for Option A, and contingency allowances.

2. Project Experience

The Offeror shall provide the required information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposal.

Project experience demonstrating (1) required licenses to operate equipment specific to the landscape rehabilitation requirements (2) capability to successfully complete relevant projects of similar scope and magnitude to this solicitation; (3) strong technical knowledge and skill required for this solicitation; and (4) effective management, problem solving, communication, coordination, and organization present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated.

Those not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated. Contracts must have been performed or managed by the prime offeror, as either a prime contractor or subcontractor, clearly demonstrating the ability to meet the specifications in the Scope of Work. Experience within the Department of Interior or US Forest Service is preferred and may be rated more favorably. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s ability to plan and execute the work within a compressed schedule and possible winter conditions. Particular emphasis will be placed on realistic sequencing, multi-season means and methods, staffing and equipment availability, and risk mitigation strategies that demonstrate the ability to achieve on-time completion despite weather exposure, limited access, and wetland buffer work area constraints. Those not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated.

3. Management Experience

The Offeror shall provide the required information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposal.

Management approaches demonstrating (1) sound management practices and business processes; (2) effective cost and quality control; and (3) clear corporate and project team commitment, hierarchy and lines of communication, roles, responsibilities, and relationships present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Plans not demonstrating these attributes present higher levels of risk and will be less favorably rated.

4. Past Performance

Offeror must provide at least 3 narrative examples and points of contact for projects of similar past work. In order to conduct evaluations, the Government must be able to verify project information with the provided point of contact, via phone or email. At a minimum, the Government will use the offeror's provided point of contact, phone, or email to verify the project was performed by the named contractor and to verify the relevancy of the project. If the point of contact cannot be reached through reasonable attempts, the offer may be less favorably rated. In making a determination, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s proposal and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, or other Government personnel.

Past performance demonstrating higher levels of success and quality on more relevant projects similar in scope and magnitude to this solicitation present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Projects that are more relevant to the requirements of this solicitation will be given more weight in the overall past performance rating. Project Experience ratings (Subfactor B) will be considered in determining relevancy for projects submitted under this factor. If an offeror has no past performance on similar work relevant to this solicitation, they will not meet technical acceptability.

5. Price

The offeror's Price proposals will be evaluated by CLIN level.

If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using a price analysis of Government-obtained information, additional information in accordance with FAR 15.4 may be required to support the proposed price.

The Government may make a final determination as to whether the Offeror’s proposal is acceptable or unacceptable solely based on the initial proposals as submitted or the Government may conduct discussions with offerors regarding proposals. Offerors are advised to submit proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without requests for additional information. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions and technical requirements to be eligible for award. The Government intends to select one contractor for award. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of proposals(s) submitted and the availability of funds.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items (NOV 2023) (DEVIATION AUG 2025), applies to this acquisition.

The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract from this solicitation.

Proposals are required to be received in the contracting office no later than 10:00 AM ET on August 11, 2026. All quotes must be emailed to the attention of Jason Albright. The email address is Jason_Albright@ios.doi.gov.

Any questions regarding this solicitation should be directed to Jason Albright, at Jason Albright@ios.doi.gov no later than 10:00 AM ET on July 28, 2026.

Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where the work will be performed. An organized site visit walkthrough has been scheduled for July 20, 2026, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm ET.

Participants will meet at Barrett Farm House, 448 Barrett's Mill Road, Concord, MA at 8:00 am ET.

GPS Coordinates: Latitude/Longitude 691071, 2995689.

52.204-10 Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards (Jun 2020) (Deviation

AUG 2025)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause:

Executive means officers, managing partners, or any other employees in management positions.

First-tier subcontract means a subcontract awarded directly by the Contractor to acquire supplies or services (including construction) for performing a prime contract. It does not include the Contractor’s supplier agreements with vendors, such as long-term arrangements for materials or supplies that benefit multiple contracts and/or the costs of which are normally applied to a contractor’s general and administrative expenses or indirect costs.

Month of award means the month in which the Contracting Officer signs a contract or the month in which the Contractor signs a first-tier subcontract.

Total compensation means the cash and noncash dollar value earned by the executive during the Contractor's preceding fiscal year and includes the information described at 17 CFR 229.402(c)(2).

(b) Requirement. Section 2(d)(2) of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-282), as amended by section 6202 of the Government Funding Transparency Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-252), requires the Contractor to report information on subcontract awards. The law requires all reported information be made public; therefore, the Contractor is responsible for notifying its subcontractors that the required information will be made public. Nothing in this clause requires disclosing classified information.

(c) Reporting. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, or as provided in paragraph (f) of this clause, the Contractor shall report the following in the System for Award Management at https://www.sam.gov as follows:

(1) Executive compensation of the prime contractor. The Contractor shall report the names and total compensation of each of the five most highly compensated executives for its preceding completed fiscal year, if—

(i) In the Contractor's preceding fiscal year, the Contractor received— (A)80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts); loans, grants (and subgrants); cooperative agreements; and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and (B)$25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts); loans, grants (and subgrants); cooperative agreements; and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and

(ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.

78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (To determine if the public has access to the compensation information, see the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission total compensation filings at http://www.sec.gov/answers/execomp.htm.).

(2) First-tier subcontract information. The Contractor shall report the following information by the end of the month following the month of award of each first-tier subcontract award:

(i) Unique entity identifier for the subcontractor receiving the award and for the subcontractor’s ultimate parent company, if the subcontractor has a parent company.

(ii) Name of the subcontractor.

(iii) Amount of the subcontract award.

(iv) Date of the subcontract award.

(v) A description of the products or services (including construction) being provided under the subcontract, including the overall purpose and expected outcomes or results of the subcontract.

(vi) The subcontract number assigned by the Prime Contractor.

(vii) Subcontractor’s physical address.

(viii) Subcontractor’s primary performance location.

(ix) The prime contract number, and order number if applicable.

(x) Awarding agency name and code.

(xi) Funding agency name and code.

(xii) Government contracting office code.

(xiii) The applicable North American Industry Classification System code.

(3) Executive compensation of the first-tier subcontractor. The Contractor shall report by the end of the month following the month of award of a first-tier subcontract award and annually thereafter (calculated from the prime contract award date) the names and total compensation of each of the five most highly compensated executives for that subcontractor in the subcontractor’s preceding completed fiscal year, if—

(i) In the subcontractor’s preceding fiscal year, the subcontractor received— (A)80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts); loans, grants (and subgrants); cooperative agreements; and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and (B)$25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal contracts (and subcontracts); loans, grants (and subgrants); cooperative agreements; and other forms of Federal financial assistance; and

(ii) The public does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.

78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (see http://www.sec.gov/answers/execomp.htm).

(d) Restriction. The Contractor shall not split or break down subcontracts to a value below the threshold at the Federal Acquisition Regulation 4.208(e), on the date of subcontract award, to avoid the reporting requirements in paragraph (c) of this clause.

(e) Duration. Continued reporting on first-tier subcontracts is not required unless one of the reported data elements changes during the performance of the subcontract. The Contractor is not required to make further reports after a first-tier subcontract expires.

(f) Exceptions.

(1) If the Contractor in the previous tax year had gross income, from all sources, under $300,000, the Contractor is exempt from the requirement to report subcontractor awards.

(2) If a subcontractor in the previous tax year had gross income from all sources under $300,000, the Contractor does not need to report awards for that subcontractor.

(g) Prepopulated data. The Subcontract Reports in SAM will prepopulate with some information from SAM and the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). If the FPDS information is incorrect, the Contractor should notify the Contracting Officer. If the SAM information is incorrect, the Contractor is responsible for correcting this information.

(End of clause)

52.204-13 System for Award Management Maintenance (Oct 2018) (Deviation Nov 2025)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Commercial and Government Entity code means—

(1) An identifier assigned to entities located in the United States or its outlying areas by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch to identify a commercial or government entity by unique location (referred to as “CAGE code”); or

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA CAGE Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file (referred to as “NCAGE code”).

Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) means an identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity.

(b) Active registration.

(1) The Contractor shall maintain an active Federal Government contracts registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov during contract performance and through final payment under this contract. To maintain an active registration in SAM, the Contractor shall review at least annually its registration in SAM and validate that the information is current, accurate, and complete.

(2) The Contractor is responsible for the currency, accuracy, and completeness of the information provided within SAM, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete information. Updating SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(c) Novation and change-of-name agreements.

(1) If the Contractor has legally changed its business name or “doing business as” name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used to perform the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in part 42 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to —

(i) Change the legal business name in SAM;

(ii) Comply with the requirements of FAR part 42; and

(iii) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall provide with its written notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(2) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(d) Assignees.

(1) The Contractor shall not change the legal business name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR part 32). Assignees shall be separately registered in SAM.

(2) Information provided to the Contractor’s SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(e) Unique entity identifier (UEI). The Contractor shall ensure that its UEI is maintained throughout the life of the contract.
