About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract to Calhoun Quarry, Inc. for the furnish and delivery of crushed limestone aggregate stone (CA-6) to Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge, with capability statements due by June 3, 2026. This is a notice of intent under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii) for a purchase not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and no competitive solicitation will be issued unless a respondent submits clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government.
The requirement calls for tail gate spread delivery of crushed limestone to locations along Calhoun Wetlands Road and Swan Lake Levee Road. Market research determined that no other sources within reasonable distance are willing to provide delivery to this remote refuge location, and alternative quarries farther away have historically declined to serve it. Calhoun Quarry has supplied the refuge for over 20 years with published pricing consistent with other regional quarries, reliable on-time delivery, and demonstrated familiarity with refuge operations and local infrastructure. The Contracting Officer approved sole source procedures on May 28, 2026.
Any interested party may submit a written capability statement by email only in Microsoft Word or PDF format demonstrating that competition would be advantageous to the Government. All costs of preparation and submission are the respondent's responsibility and will not be reimbursed.
NAICS 212312; PSC 5610.
