Notice of intent to sole source cancellation

The Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office has issued a Pre-solicitation Notice for Architectural Services, specifically focusing on professional design work related to landscaping, interior layout, and general architectural design. The solicitation, originally planned as a sole source procurement under Solicitation Number DOIPFBO250015, has been cancelled in favor of pursuing a competitive procurement process. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 541310 for Architectural Services and PSC code C211 for Architect and Engineering services. While the detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly stated in the current documentation, the procurement appears to be centered on obtaining professional architectural design capabilities for National Park Service projects. The initial notice was posted on March 12, 2025, with a response deadline of March 21, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for potential contractors to prepare and submit their qualifications.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations, suggesting the procurement will be open to a broad range of architectural service providers. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the available documentation. The cancellation of the original sole source intent signals the agency's commitment to a more competitive procurement process, which may attract multiple architectural firms interested in providing design services. The procurement is classified as a civilian agency contract, which may influence the submission requirements and evaluation process. Given the nature of architectural services and the involvement of the National Park Service, potential contractors can anticipate that design expertise, particularly in landscaping and interior layout, will be critical to a successful bid. The specific timeline for service delivery and potential contract duration are not detailed in the current pre-solicitation notice.
