The Federal Highway Administration's Western Federal Lands Division plans a $45 million to $55 million road reconstruction project on Grand Loop Road in Yellowstone National Park, about 0.4 miles southwest of Mammoth, WY. It will be solicited only to contractors on the Yellowstone/Grand Teton MATOC. The solicitation is expected in Winter 2026/2027 with completion tentatively Fall 2028.
Who can bid
- Limited competition: only MATOC holders can bid, not every business that meets the set-aside.
- Must be a Yellowstone/Grand Teton MATOC contractor to receive the solicitation
How to submit: Request for Proposal to be posted on SAM.gov; follow the opportunity to get notified. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: Limited to MATOC holders. Only contractors already on the Yellowstone/Grand Teton MATOC can bid, so a small business not on it can only participate as a subcontractor.
- Worth checking: Large, complex construction. The $45M to $55M scope includes blasting, rock scaling, retaining walls and stone masonry in a national park, which requires major capacity and bonding for a prime.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
