This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors) with a $19 million size standard.
Place of performance is Norwood, Colorado. The cabin, located approximately 25 miles southeast of Norwood and serving as both a summer rental facility and winter outfitter cabin, requires exterior log surface preparation through power washing or media blasting, removal of old stain and paint, void cleaning (3/8 inches or greater), chinking of all horizontal and vertical exterior joints, application of heavy-coat borate wood preservative, and matching high-quality exterior log stain. The south wall includes two windowsills and sub-sills requiring vertical flush cutting to remove decayed portions. Estimated project duration is 2–4 weeks, with performance running November 5, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This is a firm fixed-price award.
A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for September 30, 2026, at 9:30 A.M. Mountain Daylight Time at the Norwood District Office. Contractors must submit a bid guarantee on Standard Form 24 equal to 20 percent of the total offer price (not to exceed $3 million) and a payment bond on Standard Form 25A in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price within 10 days of award.

The Lone Cone Cabin is a rental facility in the summer months and an outfitter cabin in the winter months located on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forest on the Norwood Ranger District. This is a log cabin built in the late 1940s. There are large gaps between the logs and holes from woodpeckers and other varmints, throughout the exterior of the cabin.
