The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting bids for the supply and delivery of approximately 700 tons of SB2 limestone materials to the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Arkansas. The limestone must be tailgate spread across five road locations—Biscoe Bottoms Road, Nail Tract Road, George Tract Road, Algoa Road, and Bank of Brinkley Road—achieving a three-inch application depth at each site. Key contract requirements include coordinating delivery of a minimum of 100 tons daily between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with delivery prohibited on weekends, federal holidays, and during wet conditions. The contractor must provide all delivery, spreading, and grading equipment and furnish scale tickets documenting weight, material, and date for each load. Evaluation criteria include price (best value), acceptable specification/proposal, past performance from CPARS/FAPIIS, and past performance based on the Contracting Officer's personal knowledge. The solicitation was posted on January 6, 2026, with a due date of January 12, 2026, providing a six-day response window. An amendment issued on January 8, 2026, clarified that the government can accept locally sourced limestone/SB2 materials.

This is a total small business set-aside, restricting participation to qualified small business entities. The contract includes five line items of 140 tons each, with a performance period of 90 days from the award date. Contractors must submit quotes via email with their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, product narrative description, price per ton, and total price, with shipping and handling included in the unit price. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials. Performance will take place at the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge, located in Prairie, Monroe, and Jackson Counties in Arkansas, with complete delivery and spreading required at one location before proceeding to the next.
