Sources Sought - Road Chips for Yellowstone

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region is conducting a Sources Sought market research effort for the delivery of 5,200 tons of road chip sealing materials to Yellowstone National Park's Norris Pit. The project falls under the Construction Sand and Gravel Mining NAICS category (212321) with a size standard of 500 employees. Interested vendors must submit capability statements of 10 pages or less by December 17, 2024, at 0900 Mountain Standard Time to Stacy_Vallie@nps.gov. The capability statements must include comprehensive company details, SAM registration status, size status/SBA certifications, and specific capability documentation. The government is seeking responses from both large and small businesses to help determine the appropriate acquisition strategy and potential set-aside decisions.

The anticipated contract will be a single award, firm-fixed price vehicle with a performance period from May 19, 2025, through July 3, 2025. No specific set-aside designation has been established at this time, and the solicitation is expected to be released in early to mid-January 2025. The materials will be delivered to a specific location 21 miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs within Yellowstone National Park. While no precise budget or award value was disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement will involve the transportation and delivery of road chips for park infrastructure maintenance. The government's primary objective is to conduct market research to understand vendor capabilities and potential competition for this specific material procurement requirement.
