New Vertical Micro Screen/Strainer Screw Compactors

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region is preparing to solicit two Vertical Micro Screen/Strainer Screw Compactor systems for wastewater treatment facilities at Big Bend National Park, with a formal solicitation anticipated in early or mid-October 2026 under solicitation number 140P1426R0034.

Work will be performed at two locations: Chisos Basin Wastewater Treatment Facility Headworks and Panther Junction Wastewater Treatment Facility Headworks, both in Texas. The scope includes provision, installation, and testing of fully functional compactor systems, removal of existing failing bar screen and strainer equipment, and any necessary headworks modifications.

NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction) applies, with a $45 million size standard. The government is soliciting capability statements for market research purposes; this is not a formal solicitation. Responses must demonstrate relevant experience from the past five years with similar construction projects, including project names, locations, dollar values, and customer references. Demonstrated technical capability in underground utilities or fire protection water systems installation and federal project experience are required. Firms must also confirm bonding capacity for single and aggregate projects.

The government is particularly interested in responses from small businesses and disadvantaged business categories (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, ISBEE). Capability statements must not exceed five pages, submitted in PDF format to Stacy_Vallie@ios.doi.gov by September 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Responses must include firm name, address, contact details, UEI number, SAM registration status, size status, and statement of interest in competing.
