TN duck river NWR gate repair

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is procuring gate repair services for the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Duck River Unit located in New Johnsonville, Tennessee. The scope involves installing a new gate operator to replace a failed and unrepairable system that secures the office compound containing fuel tanks, vehicles, and heavy equipment. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and PSC code 5660 (Fencing, Fences, Gates And Components), with work to be performed according to specifications outlined in the attached Statement of Work. A mandatory site visit has been scheduled for July 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM CDT, with Ferris Calderon serving as the point of contact. Questions must be submitted by July 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT to Bill Koski, and final quotes are due August 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT to the same contracting officer.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The estimated contract value is under $25,000, positioning this as a smaller-scale procurement within the federal marketplace. No incumbent contractor or previous service provider information has been disclosed in the solicitation materials. The work will be performed at the Duck River Unit facility located at 550 Refuge Lane, New Johnsonville, Tennessee 37134, where contractors will need to coordinate access and installation activities around the existing security infrastructure. The timeline appears focused on rapid procurement and installation given the critical nature of maintaining compound security for the refuge's assets and operations.
