About this opportunity
The National Park Service issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on April 23, 2026, for emergency replacement of two hydronic boilers at the Lodgepole Visitor Center in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Tulare County, California. The procurement was justified under urgent and compelling circumstances after the facility's second boiler failed on February 17, 2026, and the remaining operational boiler was found to be leaking and in imminent danger of failure on February 25, 2026. Without immediate replacement, the 6,700-foot elevation facility faced catastrophic freeze damage to plumbing systems, structural damage from prolonged sub-freezing exposure, forced closure of the visitor center, and operational impacts to on-site administrative and law enforcement offices. Market research confirmed that only Laars NeoTherm NTH-285PXX3 boilers could integrate directly with the existing gas, venting, hydronic, electrical, and control systems, making competitive procurement timelines prohibitively risky. The contract was awarded on April 22, 2026, under contract number 140P8526C0004 with an Independent Government Estimate of $117,480, though the actual awarded vendor name and final contract amount were not disclosed in the posting. The justification document was signed and approved on March 5, 2026, by the Project Manager, with final contracting officer approval granted on April 21, 2026.
