OH OTTAWA NWR MATERIALS for BOARDWALK

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is procuring construction materials for a boardwalk project at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge through solicitation 140FS225Q0135. The materials include marine-grade stainless steel wood deck screws, pressure treated ground contact lumber, joist hangers, carriage bolts, hex nuts, washers, and impact duty bits. This is a firm-fixed price contract with delivery required by August 31, 2025. Quotes must be submitted via email to jeremy_riva@fws.gov by the July 9, 2025 closing date. The government will evaluate offers based on ability to meet technical specifications, past performance, and price, with technical conformance and past performance weighted more heavily than price in the best value determination.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside under NAICS code 321113 (Sawmills). A recent amendment specifically updated one line item to require 6 boxes of 1-inch marine-grade stainless steel wood deck screws with Torx Flat-Head T25 design, containing 1 pound or 160 pieces per box. The materials must be delivered to the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge located at 14000 West State Route 2, Oak Harbor, Ohio 43449. Interested businesses must disclose any potential subcontractors with their quote submissions. The solicitation emphasizes that awards may be made to contractors other than the lowest-priced bidder based on the best value evaluation criteria, and contractors must demonstrate their ability to meet the technical specifications for the marine-grade materials required for this outdoor boardwalk construction project.
