About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is soliciting quotes to replace a failed 75 KVA ground-mounted electrical transformer that supplies power to two research greenhouses at the Alexandria Forestry Center in Pineville, Louisiana. The project scope includes removing the inoperative transformer and concrete pad, installing a new concrete mounting pad, replacing high-voltage feed cables, and properly disposing of the old transformer with documented chain of custody. Contractors must provide all labor, equipment, and materials; comply with OSHA and NEC standards; maintain an onsite supervisor; and restore disturbed areas by re-seeding with centipede grass and straw mulch. The government will award the contract using lowest price technically acceptable methodology, with one award anticipated. The deadline for submitting requests for information or questions was December 10, 2025, at 12:00pm EST, and the revised quote due date is January 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, with performance to begin within one calendar day of award and be completed within 60 calendar days.
This solicitation has no set-aside designation and is estimated to fall between $25,000 and $100,000, classified as a firm fixed price construction contract with a single lump-sum line item for transformer replacement. No current incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation materials. The project is located at the Alexandria Forestry Center, 2500 Shreveport Highway, Pineville, Louisiana 71360, where a non-mandatory site visit was scheduled for December 9, 2025. Contractors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) account and comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements for building construction trades in Rapides County, Louisiana. The point of contact is Adam Gatlin at adam.gatlin@usda.gov or (318)201-2327, and the Contracting Officer's Representative is Jason Thompson.
