Theodore Roosevelt National Park-Replace Boundary Fence-North Unit Zone 1

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region is seeking a contractor to remove and replace approximately 4,400 linear feet of boundary fence at Theodore Roosevelt National Park's North Unit in North Dakota, with work anticipated to begin in Spring/Summer 2026. The project includes constructing new cable-suspended fence structures across Corral Creek and an unnamed drainageway, along with welded steel pipe fence panel abutments and double H-brace corner structures designed to protect and manage bison herds within the wilderness area. The solicitation will be issued as a firm-fixed-price Invitation for Bid (IFB) and posted to SAM.gov with an anticipated release date of April 10, 2026, followed by a 30-day response period with proposals due May 11, 2026, and award expected approximately 30 business days thereafter. Offerors must maintain an active UEI number and SAM registration to be eligible for award. The evaluation criteria and specific technical requirements will be detailed in the full IFB package; interested parties should contact Joanie Brzezinski, Contract Specialist, at joan_brzezinski@ios.doi.gov or 605-574-0515 for additional information.

This solicitation (140P6326B0004) is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under PSC code Z2PZ (Repair Other Non-Building Facilities) and NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Contractors), with a size standard of $19 million. The Base Bid performance period spans 320 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with additional time allotted for optional work: Option 1 extends fencing an additional 1,300 linear feet (adding 60 days), Option 2 covers approximately 450 linear feet across a butte saddle (adding 30 days), and both options together add 90 days to the schedule. The contract includes an anticipated winter work stoppage from mid-November through late March. No incumbent contractor or specific award value is identified in this pre-solicitation notice, though the $19 million size standard provides context for small business eligibility and potential project scope.
