WA-LWS NFH-septic line repair quarters

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) is seeking market research and industry information for a septic line repair project at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Cook, Washington. The agency plans to award a firm fixed-price construction contract to repair a broken septic line, which will involve determining the line's location, exposing it, replacing it with new PVC material to meet current regulatory codes, and establishing a new connection from a house transition to the septic tank. Interested vendors must submit a response to Shannon Barnhill via email by June 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. Respondents are required to provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, business type, documentation of capability through 2-5 similar past projects, and a statement detailing their capacity to complete the work. The primary evaluation criteria will focus on vendors' demonstrated experience, technical capability, and ability to meet the project's specific requirements.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all business categories, including small businesses, woman-owned small businesses, and veteran-owned small businesses. The project falls under NAICS code 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) with a size standard of $9 Million, which allows for participation by businesses of various sizes and ownership types. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the size standard suggests the project could accommodate a range of potential contract values. The timeline for services appears to be relatively near-term, with the solicitation posted on May 30, 2025, and responses due by June 9, 2025. The project represents a targeted infrastructure repair effort aimed at maintaining and upgrading critical facilities at the Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery.
