The Bureau of Land Management (Alaska State Office) wants a small business to plow, de-ice and clear snow at its Campbell Tract Facility in Anchorage, Alaska. It is a single firm-fixed-price contract with a 7-month base winter season (11/4/2026 to 4/30/2027) plus four 1-year option seasons, each running Oct 1 to Apr 30. Quotes are due October 14, 2026 by email.
Watch out for
- Contradictory service area size (800 acres vs. about 7 acres). The evaluation subfactor mentions an 800-acre installation, but the government answered in the Q&A that the service area is limited to the mapped areas in Appendix 1; make sure your technical response addresses the mapped area.
demonstrate capability to clear an 800-acre installation automatically within the mandated
- Key documents not readable here. The amended price schedule, amended clauses/provisions (including insurance and the corrected evaluation language) and the wage determination could not be read, so pricing structure, insurance amounts and wage rates must be checked on SAM.gov.
- Hard 6:00 AM clearing deadline with government self-performance. Missing the early-morning deadline or the business-hours threshold lets the government plow itself and you must coordinate with the COR before returning, which means a tight, automatic overnight crew plan.
the Government reserves the right to self-perform snow removal.
- Contractor pays for any damage. You are fully responsible for repairing damage from plowing to lawns, fences, light poles, curbs and sidewalks, which is a real cost risk in a snow-covered site.
Restoration: The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the repair or replacement
- Tight timeline and amended documents. Amendment 0001 changed the work statement, price schedule and clauses, and DOI system problems may delay answers, so you must use the amended versions and acknowledge the amendment.
FAILURE OF YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO BE
- Contact and system problems at the agency. The notice says Interior's systems are down and questions may be answered by email only first, so questions may take time to appear on SAM.gov.
NOTE: Due to the Department of the Interior system shutdown, questions may initially be answered only by email.
- Documents disagree on award type. The evaluation provision calls the award a task order while the Q&A confirms it is a standalone contract; rely on the Q&A and the amended provisions.
Confirmed, this will be a standalone contract open to any SAM registered small business.
