The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California Region is soliciting quotes for telecommunications services involving the relocation of a prefabricated concrete communications shelter from Riverside, California to South Fork Mountain in Shasta County, California. This project aims to enhance BLM's communication network infrastructure supporting law enforcement, fire, and administrative operations by relocating an 8' X 10' X 9' concrete shelter weighing approximately 22,000 pounds to a remote mountain site with challenging access conditions. The contractor must handle all aspects of transportation, site logistics, equipment relocation, and safety protocols while adhering to strict environmental and operational requirements. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with key technical considerations including safe transport methods, timeliness, equipment handling, site preparation, safety compliance, environmental considerations, access and logistics, post-move testing, and prior experience with references. Quotes are due by July 14, 2025 at 6:00 PM PDT and must be submitted via email to sbon@blm.gov, with offerors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) with a small business size standard of $34.0 million in annual receipts. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed. The project involves relocating a single telecommunications shelter from the Riverside Radio Shop to a remote location on South Fork Mountain, requiring navigation of unmaintained truck trails and potential off-road access in challenging terrain with variable conditions including potential snow, rocks, and uneven surfaces. The contract will be a firm fixed-price purchase order with a period of performance from July 31, 2025 to July 30, 2026, providing a one-year window for project completion. The place of performance spans from Riverside County to Shasta County, California, with the final installation occurring at the remote South Fork Mountain site where wildlife presence and difficult access conditions present additional logistical challenges.
