YELL 338221 - Bridge Preservation - 5 Bridges

The National Park Service, under the Department of the Interior, is seeking contractors for bridge preservation work at five bridge sites within Yellowstone National Park through solicitation 140P2025R0051. The project encompasses rehabilitation of the Gibbon River Bridge #5, Old Faithful Interchange Bridge, Bridge Bay Bridge, and two optional Firehole River bridges. Contractors must navigate challenging work conditions including limited winter access, tight construction limits, restricted staging areas, and the critical requirement to maintain visitor access throughout the construction period. The procurement will utilize a negotiated firm-fixed price contract structure with a 180-calendar day performance period spanning the 2025/2026 construction seasons. The anticipated solicitation issue date is June 26, 2025, with the current pre-solicitation notice serving to alert potential offerors to monitor SAM.gov for the full solicitation release and submission requirements.

This opportunity is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside, specifically encouraging participation from small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small business concerns. The estimated contract value ranges between $5 million and $10 million, though the project currently lacks funding despite high expectations for future appropriation. Prospective offerors must maintain active SAM.gov registration and possess a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number to participate in the procurement process. The project falls under NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction, reflecting the specialized infrastructure nature of the work. All proposal documents will be made available electronically through SAM.gov in multiple formats when the full solicitation is released.
