VICK 209252 Stabilize Mint Spring Bayou & VICK 310725/324137 Stabilize Terraces

The Department of the Interior National Park Service is seeking contractors for a comprehensive stabilization project at Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi through solicitation RFP 140P2025R0092. The project encompasses two critical stabilization efforts: constructing a 272-linear-foot soldier pile and lagging retaining wall with earthen buttress to repair landslide damage at the National Cemetery (VICK 310725/324137), and installing high-capacity strand anchors, reinforced concrete anchor plates, and granular fill to address erosion and slope instability at Mint Spring Bayou (VICK 209252). The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price agreement requiring bid, performance, and payment bonds from successful contractors. The award will be determined through a best-value trade-off evaluation process that considers technical capabilities, past performance, and price factors. The solicitation is expected to be released electronically via SAM.gov during August or September 2025, though the project currently remains unfunded with high expectations for future funding approval.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a size standard threshold of $46.0 million, making it accessible exclusively to qualified small business contractors. The total construction magnitude exceeds $15 million, representing a substantial infrastructure investment for the National Park Service. Contractors awarded this project will have 548 calendar days to complete all required stabilization work across both project sites. The work falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and PSC code Y1LB (Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways), indicating the specialized nature of the heavy civil engineering construction required. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the pre-solicitation documentation.
