TX-anahuac NWR-limestone road base

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking a contractor to deliver approximately 5,698 tons of Grade A limestone road base for the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge located in Anahuac, Texas. The procurement is being conducted through a Request for Information (RFI) with solicitation number 140F0S24Q0043, targeting small business vendors in the stone mining and quarrying sector. Contractors must be registered in the System Award Management (SAM) website and prepared to deliver materials using belly dump trailers between July 14 and August 14, 2025. Daily delivery will require 10-50 trucks operating between 7:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, with precise delivery coordinates at 4318 FM 1985. Interested vendors are encouraged to contact the contracting officer, Merenica Banks, before the response closing date of June 12, 2025.

While the solicitation is technically open to all businesses, it is initially positioned for small business participation under NAICS code 212319 for crushed and broken stone mining. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the project involves delivering limestone for maintenance and improving all-weather roads within the wildlife refuge. Delivery specifications are strict, with contractors required to coordinate load numbers and timing at least 24 hours in advance and limited to turning around only in locations specified by refuge staff. The technical coordinator for the project is Steve Baker, the Facilities Manager, who will likely be involved in evaluating contractor capabilities and compliance. The contract will be firm fixed price, with a relatively short performance period of approximately one month, focusing on precise material specifications and logistical constraints to minimize potential environmental impact on the wildlife refuge area.
