Questions from potential bidders must be submitted by March 28, 2025 at 12:00 P.M. PST, with contract points of contact being Chad Walton and Kimberlee Lowry from the California Army National Guard.

The contract is set aside specifically for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns, with a total award amount of $9,000,000.00 under NAICS code 811121 (Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair and Maintenance). Restoration work will be performed at multiple locations including CHQC, Camp Roberts, Stockton, and CSLO, with a firm fixed price pricing arrangement.
