The USDA Forest Service wants quotes to decommission the Camptonville housing on the Tahoe National Forest, with Nevada City, CA, as the place of performance. Only small businesses can bid; the price range is between $100,000 and $250,000. The response due date is November 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM Pacific.
Who can bid
- Small business under NAICS 238910 (size standard $19 million): total small business set-aside
- Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) when you submit your quote
- Bid bond of 20% if the quote is over $150,000
Things to watch
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only businesses that are small under NAICS 238910 (up to $19 million) can win this award.
- Serious: Bid bond needed above $150,000. A quote over $150,000 needs a 20% bid guarantee, which takes a surety relationship to get.
- Worth checking: Two solicitation numbers. SAM.gov lists 127EAX26Q0076, but the notice text says 127EAX27Q0010; ask the contracting officer which to put on your quote.
