Supply and install six entrance signs at panther

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is procuring the supply and installation of six entrance signs at the Panther Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Mississippi. The work involves removing existing signage, constructing new sign frames measuring 10 feet wide by 10 feet high using pressure-treated wood with specific dimensional requirements, and installing new high-density overlay signs provided by the government. Contractors must obtain all necessary federal, state, and local permits, call 811 for utility locates, and provide a one-year warranty on all work. The evaluation criteria include price as the primary factor for best value determination, acceptable specifications meeting all requirements, past performance data from CPARS/FAPIIS, and past performance based on the Contracting Officer's knowledge. Quotes are due by September 17, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, with interested vendors required to submit their Unique Entity Identifier number, technical capabilities narrative, and unit and total pricing via email to the contract specialist.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 339950 for Sign Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation materials. The contract does not specify award values or budget ranges, requiring contractors to provide unit and total pricing for all six signs in their quotations. The six sign locations are distributed across Yazoo and Humphreys Counties in Mississippi, with specific GPS coordinates provided for areas near Carter, Louis, Holly Bluff, and other designated entrance points to the wildlife refuge. The period of performance extends 90 days post-award with a completion deadline no later than November 14, 2025, and a site visit is available upon request by contacting the refuge directly.
