This solicitation uses no set-aside designation, though the original posting indicated a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside that was subsequently amended. The contract has been structured as a Time and Materials (T&M) vehicle rather than firm fixed price, with labor rates on an hourly basis and materials reimbursed at cost. The incumbent contractor will transition out, but there is overlap time for continuity planning; however, the incumbent will not provide transition support. The contract period runs from February 27, 2026, through February 26, 2029, consisting of a one-year base year plus two one-year option years, with an estimated 416 hours per year for evaluation purposes only. Performance will take place at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, with contractors required to maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, obtain required insurance including $500,000 general liability coverage, and comply with extensive security and background check requirements for on-site personnel access.
