About this opportunity

The USDA Forest Service Intermountain 9 office in Townsend, Montana intends to solicit quotations, through Simplified Acquisition Procedures, for an electrical system restoration and upgrade at the Fernan RS Snowmobile Shed on the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, with responses due November 9, 2026 and RFQ release on November 10, 2026. The acquisition is a Total Small Business set-aside, and the Government intends to award a firm fixed-price contract. Place of performance is 2502 E Sherman Ave, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83814. The NAICS code is 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors), with a size standard of $19 million, and the PSC is Z2JZ (Repair or Alteration of Miscellaneous Buildings).

The scope requires restoring the shed's unserviceable power source by bypassing it with a new conduit about 130 feet from the main distribution panel, feeding a new 4-circuit breaker box. That box will supply four new 120-volt, 20-amp outlets and the existing light fixtures, and the system must support an e-bike battery charging station and tools and appliances used to maintain snowmobiles, ATVs, and e-bikes. The price range is less than $25,000. Estimated period of performance is approximately December 1, 2026 through January 15, 2027, with anticipated award on November 30, 2026.
