IL CALHOUN DIVISION Tiny Home (Trailer Mounted)

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is procuring a single trailer-mounted tiny home to serve as seasonal staff quarters at Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge in Brussels, Illinois. The solicitation requires an ADA-compliant, approximately 400 square foot single-bedroom manufactured home with specific features including Energy Star appliances, a fully operational kitchen, ADA-compliant bathroom, mini-split HVAC system, and exterior hardy plank or metal siding with a metal roof. The home must be mounted on a suitable trailer with minimum dimensions of 11'2" wide by 34'10.5" long and comply with 2021 International Residential Code standards including Appendix Q. The contractor is responsible for manufacturing, delivery, setup, leveling, blocking, tie-downs, and skirting installation, with delivery required by February 1, 2026. The procurement follows a best value evaluation considering technical specifications, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance factors combined being more important than price. Quotations are due August 22, 2025 at 1700 EDT via Standard Form 1449.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 321991 (Manufactured Home Manufacturing) with a size standard of $1,250. No incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation, as this appears to be for replacement of an existing white mobile home currently on site. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the procurement is structured as a firm-fixed price acquisition for a single unit. The manufactured geographic restriction requiring production within 250 miles of Brussels, Illinois was removed in Amendment 0002, expanding the eligible contractor base. Performance will occur at Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge located at 364 Wildlife Conservation Road, Brussels, Illinois 62013, where the new tiny home will replace the existing mobile home on a gravel pad. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year complete warranty plus standard warranties for HVAC systems, appliances, and materials.
