Background

Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site utilizes numerous fence types to maintain over 80 miles of the historic fence lines. The park is seeking an Indefinite Deliveries/ Indefinite Quantities (IDIQ) contract for multiple orders within a fiscal year. This IDIQ contract will order the minimum CLIN order per fiscal year, however, more orders than the minimum order of each CLIN will be based on available funds. This contract is seeking pricing for fiscal year 2021.

The contract may not order every contract line item (CLIN) on each order. As an example, the park may order CLIN 0030 - 450 posts to be delivered for the entire order. The next order may have quantities from CLIN’s 0010, 0030, 0040, and 0050. The park understands that it is most efficient for the contractor to have a full truck load for each order. The park cannot guarantee that a full load will be order but the park will be cognizant of this when an order is placed. The contractor will need to include shipping charges in each CLIN as part of their bids.
