The U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotations for road construction materials for the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. The procurement involves obtaining approximately 8,730 tons of asphalt base, 10,000 tons of asphalt top, 10,440 gallons of asphalt tack coat, 38,940 cubic yards of aggregate, 56,180 cubic yards of fill material, 160 cubic yards of concrete material, and various concrete and polyethylene pipes. The solicitation (No. 140F0S25Q0013) will be evaluated based on technical acceptability and fair pricing, with a strong emphasis on small business utilization. Proposals are due by March 21, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, and the contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement. The government has established ambitious small business participation goals, including 83.4% overall small business involvement, with specific targets for small disadvantaged businesses (48.1%), service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (14.5%), and women-owned businesses (21.9%).

The solicitation is not a small business set-aside, and contractors must be registered in SAM.gov to be eligible. The project's performance period spans from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, with a target delivery date of October 1, 2025. Materials will be delivered to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge at 8231 Beach Road, Chincoteague, VA, with deliveries coordinated during standard hours of 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. The key contract contacts include Joni Dutcher (Contracting Point of Contact), Richard Yee (Technical Point of Contact), and Kelly Harshbarger (Alternate Point of Contact). While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves significant quantities of construction materials that will be used for infrastructure improvements at the wildlife refuge. Contractors are required to submit a comprehensive proposal package, including a capability statement, pricing information, and a subcontracting plan that demonstrates their ability to meet the government's small business participation goals.
