YELL - Road Oil Distributor and Operator

The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a market survey for Yellowstone National Park to assess contractor interest in providing road emulsion distributor rental with an experienced operator for chip seal projects during fiscal years 2025-2029. The primary performance period is anticipated to be in July-August of each fiscal year, supporting road maintenance throughout the park. Potential contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and can include large businesses, small businesses, 8(a) certified firms, HUBZone businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, woman-owned small businesses, and Indian economic enterprises. Interested entities are required to submit their response to colton_nelson@nps.gov by December 6, 2024, including their entity information, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and relevant experience. The response should be limited to one page or less, and no pricing information should be included, as this is a preliminary market survey for acquisition planning purposes.

The procurement falls under NAICS code 532412 for Residential Contractors, with a small business size standard of $40 million. This sources sought notice is purely for planning and does not guarantee a future solicitation or contract award. The NPS has not specified an exact budget or award value for the potential contract, but the requirement involves seasonal road maintenance equipment rental with operator services. The contract will likely be structured to support annual chip seal projects during July-August, requiring a specialized road emulsion distributor and skilled operator. No specific set-aside designations are currently in place, meaning all qualified businesses across various socio-economic categories are encouraged to express their interest and capabilities. Potential contractors should carefully review the market survey requirements and be prepared to demonstrate their technical expertise in road maintenance equipment operation and chip seal project support.
