This is a Total Small Business set-aside; offers from non-small business concerns will be rejected as nonresponsive.

Place of performance is the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma. The work comprises asbestos abatement from the old Refuge Headquarters (approximately 6,914 square feet), Quarters #012 residence (approximately 1,381 square feet), and a pump house building (approximately 240 square feet). Materials to be removed include vinyl floor tile, mastic, flooring adhesive, sheet vinyl, and cementitious panels totaling approximately 7,600 square feet of overlapping vinyl flooring with adhesive, approximately 1,200 square feet of basement tile and asbestos-containing mastic, exterior siding, and laundry-chute panels. The structures are unoccupied, closed to the public, and awaiting demolition.

The estimated construction price range is $25,000 to $100,000. This is a Firm Fixed Price contract with a performance period from October 19 through December 4, 2026; work must commence within 14 calendar days of notice to proceed and complete within 30 days. A Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of contract price, submitted within 14 calendar days of award, is required. Any contract exceeding $150,000 also requires a Performance Bond.

All work must comply with OSHA 1910.1001, EPA Title 40 CFR Part 61 (NESHAP), and Oklahoma asbestos regulations. Qualifications and experience requirements may be satisfied through a licensed asbestos abatement subcontractor; the prime contractor need not hold separate asbestos licensing or self-perform.
