About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks reconstruction of approximately 2,150 linear feet of post and pole fence at Blue Lake on the Lincoln National Forest near Ruidoso, New Mexico, with quotations due June 5, 2026. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a small business size standard of $19 million.
Place of performance is the Lincoln National Forest, Smokey Bear Ranger District, near Ruidoso, NM. The fence will use government-furnished 6-inch diameter, 8-foot treated wood posts spaced 9 feet on center and 4-inch diameter, 10-foot poles installed at three heights (approximately 60, 42, and 24 inches above ground), with two U-shaped walk-throughs for pedestrian access. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, supervision, and site management; the Forest Service furnishes posts, poles, and spikes with a 30-percent material overage. All equipment must be low-impact (rubber wheels or tracks) due to sensitive wet meadow conditions. The contractor shall designate an onsite representative with mid-level fence construction experience, subject to replacement only with 10 workdays advance notice. Work must be performed Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time, excluding federal holidays, and completed within 30 calendar days of notice to proceed. Fire suppression equipment must be maintained on-site, and all internal combustion equipment requires USDA Forest Service approval before use.
The NAICS code is 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors); PSC is Y1PC (Construction of Unimproved Real Property). The solicitation comprises 528 total labor hours across five line items: site preparation and layout (48 hours), post-hole digging and setting (288 hours), pole installation (120 hours), pass-through installation (48 hours), and cleanup (24 hours). Pricing must incorporate New Mexico Gross Receipts and Compensating Tax. Davis-Bacon Act wage determination NM20260021 applies. Award will be made as firm-fixed-price to a single offeror based on technical approach (40 percent), past performance—three similar projects from the past three years evaluated as acceptable, neutral, or unacceptable (30 percent)—and fair and reasonable pricing (30 percent). This is a brand-new requirement with no incumbent contractor. Amendment 003, effective June 2, 2026, must be acknowledged with submitted quotations.
