Repaint 6 buildings in ANK & m. Creek

The National Park Service Alaska Region is seeking contractors to repaint the exterior surfaces of six buildings located in Anaktuvuk Pass and Marion Creek within Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska. This firm-fixed-price construction contract involves surface preparation and application of primer and two coats of 100% acrylic latex paint to approximately 13,000 square feet of exterior wood surfaces across three structures at each location, including ranger stations, residences, bunk houses, storage sheds, and a generator building. Contractors must demonstrate technical skills through certifications, provide examples of similar project experience, and comply with federal acquisition regulations including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements with minimum wages of $17.75 per hour for contracts entered after January 30, 2022. The evaluation will focus on technical documentation, prior construction experience, and regulatory compliance. The solicitation was posted on August 22, 2025, with quotes due by September 18, 2025, and the period of performance extends from notice to proceed through August 31, 2026.

This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) with a size standard of $19.0 million, and the estimated contract value ranges between $100,000 and $250,000. The work is divided into a Base Bid covering three structures in Marion Creek and Bid Option 1 for three structures in Anaktuvuk Pass, with the latter location accessible only by aircraft while Marion Creek requires either a 6+ hour drive from Fairbanks or flight access. Work must be conducted during regular business hours from 7:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Friday, at these remote Alaska locations within the national park system. The project includes specific requirements for Pittsburgh Paints products as the basis of design, detailed photo documentation, safety planning, and coordination with park operations to minimize disruptions. Limited utilities are available at both sites including well water and 120V electrical power at no charge, though contractors must provide their own equipment including ladders and temporary electrical installations meeting NEC and OSHA standards.
