The work runs from December 1, 2026 to August 15, 2027. It is a total small business set-aside and the award will go to the lowest price among technically acceptable quotes.
Watch out for
- Lowest price wins. With LPTA, price is the deciding factor once you are technically acceptable, so thin margins on manual labor are likely.
using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection method
- Wage determination applies. A Service Contract Act wage determination is attached, so you must price labor at the required wage rates.

- Remote work across three sites. Work areas are spread across rural Wyoming, so crew travel and lodging will matter for pricing.
