About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region issued this Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for emergency bridge repairs at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, specifically fabrication and installation of custom-engineered bridge timbers and 132-lb railroad rail for Bridge 447 spanning the Cuyahoga River. The Federal Railroad Administration identified critical structural defects requiring corrective action within 30 days, necessitating urgent procurement under FAR 6.302-2 for justified circumstances. Market research determined that only one contractor possessed the capability to simultaneously fabricate custom location-specific timbers within the required 90-day fabrication period while meeting the January non-operational window installation deadline imposed by the park's operational partner, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, and satisfying FRA safety compliance requirements. Full and open competition would have delayed procurement by 2-4 months, violating FRA deadlines and extending repairs into the operating season, thereby creating ongoing public safety hazards. The contract (140P6426C0001) was awarded on January 29, 2026, to an unnamed vendor, with the anticipated award value and specific scope details such as timber quantities to be determined through fair and reasonable pricing evaluation under FAR Part 13.106-3(a) techniques as certified by Contracting Officer Christopher Bauer on December 11, 2025.
