WY Rockfall Risk Mitigation IDIQ 2026

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking contractors for a comprehensive rockfall risk mitigation program across multiple dam sites in Montana and Wyoming through a Multiple-Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The services encompass site assessment, design, inspection, repair, and construction of various mitigation features including barrier systems, rock bolting, shotcrete installation, wire mesh netting, and cable systems at eight dam locations: Seminoe, Kortes, Boysen, Glendo, Guernsey, Buffalo Bill, Yellowtail, and Canyon Ferry Dams. Contractors must provide specialized personnel including SPRAT or IRATA certified rope access technicians with Level III supervision capabilities, and demonstrate expertise in scaling rock, installing stabilization hardware, and implementing comprehensive safety protocols. The procurement requires contractors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and utilize the Internet Payment Platform for invoicing. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by October 30, 2025, with the formal Request for Proposal expected to be issued on Sam.Gov around November 19, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with the Bureau of Reclamation seeking up to three vendors for award consideration. The contract structure spans a five-year ordering period from 2026-2030, with annual schedules covering identical line items for crew services, materials, and design work, though specific pricing amounts have not yet been disclosed in the preliminary documentation. The Statement of Work indicates the contract will accommodate fixed price, time and material, and labor hour task orders depending on the specific mitigation requirements at each site. Key deliverables will be measured through various metrics including linear feet of rock bolts installed, square feet of mesh coverage, and hourly rates for specialized rope access technicians. The geographic scope covers dam and powerplant facilities across Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, indicating a substantial regional infrastructure protection initiative.
