Mt Hood NF GAOA Vault Toilet Sidewalk Installations

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), is seeking a competitive small business contractor to install new concrete sidewalks and access vault toilets at multiple recreational sites within the Mt. Hood National Forest. The project will target specific locations including Elk Meadows Sno Park, Frog Lake Sno Park, Little Crater Lake campground, and Barlow Pass Sno Park, with sidewalk construction requiring 4-inch thick concrete and a minimum 5-inch width. The solicitation number is 1240BH25Q0016, with a planned release date of May 20, 2025, and the contract will be performed in the Zigzag and Hood River Ranger Districts across Clackamas and Hood River Counties, Oregon. The contract specialist for this opportunity is Susie Felton, based in the Portland, Oregon contracting office. While specific evaluation criteria were not explicitly detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement will be conducted as a competitive request under a previously issued Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).

The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, targeting contractors within the Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction NAICS category (237310). The Forest Service is not currently planning to expand the vendor pool unless competition becomes unacceptable, indicating a potentially limited opportunity for new entrants. Contractors will need to be prepared to work across multiple recreational sites within the specified ranger districts, demonstrating capability in concrete installation and recreational infrastructure development. The NAICS code 237310 and Product/Service Code Y1LB suggest that this opportunity is specifically focused on road, street, and infrastructure construction. While precise award values were not specified in the pre-solicitation notice, interested small businesses should be prepared to submit competitive proposals that meet the technical specifications for sidewalk and vault toilet installation in challenging recreational terrain.
