Hptc doug fir CVG lumber purchase

The National Park Service, under the Department of the Interior, solicited precision-milled Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) Douglas Fir lumber for the Historic Preservation Training Center's bench slat fabrication and replacement project. The solicitation (140P2126Q0066) required 9,000 pieces of 2x3 lumber surfaced four sides (S4S), kiln-dried to 15% or less moisture content, with precision end-trimmed cuts to 52 inches plus or minus 1/32 inch and eased edges. Key requirements included delivery within 45 days of contract award to the Brentwood Maintenance Facility in Washington, DC, with the contractor responsible for off-loading materials and providing seven days advance notice prior to delivery. Evaluation would have been based on firm-fixed pricing as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 13. The original deadlines required technical questions by March 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET and proposals by March 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET, submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Tavis Salas; however, these deadlines are now moot due to the solicitation's cancellation.

This acquisition was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 321113 (Sawmills), with a 550-employee size standard, limiting competition to small business entities. No incumbent contractor or award value was specified in the solicitation documents. The procurement called for 9,000 units of lumber to be delivered within 45 days of contract award, with all materials to be inspected upon delivery for visual defects and dimensional accuracy, with defects to be corrected at no cost to the government within 10 days. Performance was to occur at the Brentwood Maintenance Facility in Washington, DC, between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. However, on March 26, 2026, the solicitation was canceled via Amendment 0001 due to a determination by the Historic Preservation Training Center that the requirement was no longer feasible, effectively terminating this acquisition as an active procurement.
