About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service seeks furnishing and installation of road signage in the Elkhorn and Buffalo Gap burn areas of Dakota Prairie Grasslands, North Dakota, with quotes due September 11, 2026, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. This is a 100% small business set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that classification.
The procurement is issued as RFQ 1240LU26Q0121 for commercial items under FAR Part 12. Place of performance is North Dakota (Billings, Golden Valley, and McKenzie Counties), with delivery required to the Medora Ranger District in Dickinson. Project magnitude is estimated between $25,000 and $100,000. Performance period runs October 1, 2026 through September 28, 2027 (120 days), per Amendment 003 issued September 2, 2026.
Work comprises installation of six portal signs (60" × 18") and 84 road closure signs (12" × 18"), with specified retroreflective sheeting conforming to MUTCD and Forest Service standards. TeleSpar galvanized 2-inch, 12-gauge square steel breakaway signposts with 2-inch × 3-foot anchor sleeves are required per Amendment 003. The lowest sign panel must be installed no less than five feet above the roadway surface; portal sign edges must be no less than 12 feet from the traveled way. Posts must be embedded a minimum of one foot depth into anchor sleeves. Signpost locations will be physically staked by the Forest Service before work begins.
NAICS 238990, All Other Specialty Trade Contractors, Size Standard $19.0 million. Davis-Bacon wage determinations ND20260045 and ND20260039 apply. A 20% bid bond is required if the quote exceeds $150,000; performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract price are due within 10 days of award if contract value exceeds $150,000. For contracts between $35,000 and $150,000, only a payment bond is required.
Quoters must submit a schedule of items, recent and relevant experience demonstrating past performance on five similar contracts from the past five years assessed on recency, relevancy, and quality, bid guarantee if applicable, and acknowledgment of all amendments. Questions are due August 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. Contact Alisha Knaub, alisha.knaub@usda.gov, 406-438-2981.
