The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking a contractor to provide exterior facility painting services for multiple buildings across the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana through solicitation number 1240LU25Q0070. The scope of work includes mechanical removal of loose and failing paint and caulk, pressure washing, priming exposed bare wood, caulking, and applying two coats of exterior latex paint to facilities at Stevensville Ranger Station, Darby Ranger Station, and West Fork Ranger Station. Key requirements include compliance with Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations for Ravalli and Sanders Counties, Montana, use of premium-grade paint systems (primarily Sherwin-Williams products), and special handling procedures for historic buildings and lead-based paint removal, particularly at the Darby Barn and Darby Visitor Center. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value approach, considering past performance, experience, technical approach, and price, with contractors required to submit both price and technical proposals and maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). The proposal deadline is December 22, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with a scheduled site visit on December 3, 2025, at three locations (Stevensville at 10:00 AM, Darby at 12:00 PM, and West Fork at 2:30 PM).

This solicitation is set aside for Total Small Business participation only. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement with lump-sum pricing for base and optional line items covering five primary painting locations and five additional optional facilities. The period of performance runs from May 1, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with work to commence within 30 calendar days of award. The project encompasses nine distinct structures including bunkhouses, offices, ranger stations, a visitor center, shops, warehouses, and residences, with specific painting specifications provided for each building type and location. Work must be conducted between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with potential weekend work availability, and the contractor is responsible for waste disposal and provision of their own water and power supplies at the job sites in Darby, Montana (59829).
