Gate-repair FT. Tompkins earthen roof

The National Park Service Northeast Region is seeking construction services to repair the earthen roof structure at Fort Tompkins located within Gateway National Recreation Area's Staten Island Unit in Staten Island, New York. The primary objective is to restore the water-repelling capability of a section of the earthen-filled roof to address ongoing water infiltration issues, which have resulted in efflorescence buildup on masonry vaulted ceilings and masonry deterioration. This is a Sources Sought Notice issued for market research purposes to determine acquisition strategy and the feasibility of establishing a small business or socio-economically disadvantaged small business set-aside. The government will evaluate responses based on firm capabilities to perform the required repair work, as demonstrated through capability statements and documented business classifications and experience. Interested firms must submit their responses via email to mary_hallmon@ios.doi.gov no later than March 27, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST, with required submissions including company information, business classification status, and a capability statement addressing the firm's ability to perform the work.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses meeting the applicable size standards are eligible to compete. The estimated construction magnitude falls between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, with the applicable NAICS code 238190 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) establishing a small business size standard of $19 million in annual revenue. Responses to the Sources Sought Notice will be used to assess market capacity and inform the final acquisition approach rather than to evaluate actual contract proposals, as formal proposals are not being requested or accepted at this time. Eligible bidders may qualify under various small business classifications including standard small businesses, SBA 8(a) participants, HUBZone certified firms, and various veteran-owned or women-owned small business designations, contingent upon current SAM registration verification. The government anticipates conducting a competitive acquisition following this market research phase.
