Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of successful vault-related service experience, provide three professional references, and maintain an active SAM.gov registration at the time of award. The base performance period runs from September 22, 2025 through September 21, 2026, with services required 2-12 times annually depending on location and seasonal usage. Evaluation will be based on price reasonableness and work summary factors weighted equally, with the National Park Service encouraging participation from small, disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses.
