Landscaping Materials for Pikes Peak National Cemetery -- 5610

The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration intends to solicit landscaping materials for the Pikes Peak National Cemetery in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The procurement will involve the delivery of specific construction materials including screened planting topsoil, mulch, fill sand, crushed rock, granite breeze, and Class 6 road base. Materials must be delivered within 5 business days of order receipt, with delivery hours restricted to Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM through the cemetery's East Gate. The forthcoming solicitation will require contractors to provide detailed specification sheets and weight tickets with each delivery, and be mindful of bridge weight restrictions on Drennan Road that may necessitate alternative access routes. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, contractors will need to demonstrate compliance with precise material specifications and delivery requirements.

The solicitation is exclusively set-aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), which will limit competition to firms meeting this specific certification. Typical order quantities range between 15-25 tons per delivery, with materials being delivered to designated Maintenance Material Storage Bins. The contract falls under the NAICS category of Construction Sand and Gravel Mining (212321) and the PSC category of Mineral Construction Materials, Bulk (5610). Although no specific award value is mentioned, the recurring nature of the procurement suggests a potentially significant ongoing contract opportunity. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 28, 2025, signaling the government's intent to formally release the solicitation in the near future, with interested SDVOSB firms encouraged to prepare their responses for the upcoming competitive procurement.
