Requested Information from Vendors
Interested vendors are requested to provide a capability statement addressing the following:
The Forest Service is issuing this sources sought notice to identify small businesses capable of manufacturing, supplying, and installing bear-proof storage containers and heavy-duty outdoor picnic tables. This market research effort supports the agency's requirement for products that meet strict durability standards for park and recreational environments in remote campground settings. The project is located in Fort Collins, Colorado, and falls under NAICS code 337126 (Outdoor Furniture Manufacturing) and NAICS code 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), both of which carry a small business size standard of 500 employees. The SBA Small Business Administration set-aside designation is currently being evaluated to determine the optimal procurement strategy.
The scope of work involves providing storage boxes constructed with heavy-gauge materials that meet Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) standards. Installation requirements for these boxes include excavating, pouring, and setting concrete pads in remote areas, followed by secure anchoring. The picnic tables must feature pre-cast concrete bases with plank tops designed for high-traffic, weather-resistant, and vandal-resistant public use. Due to the remote nature of the project sites, vendors must manage complex logistics, including transporting heavy components over narrow, unpaved roads and performing concrete pours in areas where traditional transit mixers may lack direct access.
Interested vendors are requested to submit capability statements by June 22, 2026, addressing product compliance, remote site logistics, and assembly experience. The agency is specifically seeking feedback on whether the requirement should be classified as a supply contract with incidental construction or a construction contract. Responses should include rough order of magnitude pricing for units and installation, standard lead times, and details on whether installation services are performed in-house or through subcontracting. One attachment, a Statement of Work, was included with the solicitation (1240LP26Q0084SS) at the time of publication.
