The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska State Office wants a small business to plow and remove snow at its Campbell Tract Facility, 4700 BLM Road, Anchorage, AK. It is a firm-fixed-price, small business set-aside with a 7-month base season (11/4/2026 to 4/30/2027) and four yearly option seasons through 4/30/2031. Quotes are due October 14, 2026 by email.
Watch out for
- Key documents not readable. The amended price schedule, amended provisions and clauses (including insurance addendum and revised evaluation text) and the wage determination were not provided in readable form, so evaluation details, pricing structure and insurance amounts may differ from what is summarized here.
- Strict 6:00 AM clearing deadline, no call-out. You must monitor weather and start on your own, and Priority 1 areas must be cleared before 6:00 AM Monday to Friday or the Government may do the work itself.
All priority 1 areas must be completely cleared before 6:00 AM , Monday through Friday.
- Contractor pays for any damage. You are solely responsible for repairing or replacing public or private property damaged by plowing (lawns, fences, light poles, curbs) at no cost to the Government.
The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the repair or replacement
- Evaluation text still mentions an 800-acre installation. The original provision says the site is 800 acres, but Q&A confirms the real service area is only what is shown in Appendix 1 (about 1.3 miles of road and 15,000 SY of parking, plus sidewalks), so read the amended provisions carefully.
Confirmed, required service area is limited to the areas shown in Appendix1. See B08 Provisions_Clauses_draft_amended.
- Short quoting window and Interior system shutdown. Questions are due October 9 and quotes October 14, and answers may come only by email because of a Department of the Interior system shutdown, so monitor SAM.gov and your email closely.
NOTE: Due to the Department of the Interior system shutdown, questions may initially be answered only by email.
- Pricing rules are tricky. Price is per 'Each' complete clearing of all mapped areas (max 1 per day, about 30 estimated), snow hauling is a separate cubic-yard rate that must include all disposal fees, and unbalanced option prices can be rejected.
Each is defined as one complete clearing of all areas in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 Sidewalks.
- Wage and subcontracting rules. Service Contract Labor Standards wages apply to crews, and the limitation on subcontracting clause restricts how much work can go to firms that are not similarly situated small businesses.
52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting.
- Conflicting notice details. The notice text says the solicitation would be posted around September 22 and SAM.gov lists no place of performance, while the solicitation and PWS give Anchorage, AK; Amendment 0002 also dropped 'ice' from the title and the amended PWS removed chemical de-icing, so use the amended documents.
