Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses certified as such under SBA size standards for NAICS 236220. The current size standard for this code is an average annual receipts threshold set by the Small Business Administration—prospective bidders must verify their eligibility at SAM.gov and in their active SBA Profile.
Eligible entities include small construction firms, general contractors, and specialty trade contractors capable of performing building repair work. Given the emergency nature, the Forest Service likely prioritizes firms with demonstrated availability to mobilize quickly, proper licensing for Arizona construction work, and experience with federal facility projects.
Joint ventures and mentor-protégé arrangements are permitted if structured to meet SBA affiliation and size rules. HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB-certified firms may receive evaluation preference if the solicitation includes applicable clauses, though the base set-aside is total small business.
How to put together a competitive bid
For emergency repair solicitations, focus on these elements in your proposal:
Technical approach: Detail your rapid-response capability—staff availability, equipment readiness, and supplier relationships that allow immediate mobilization. Specify your project manager's emergency repair experience with similar facilities. The Forest Service will weigh certainty of performance heavily given the urgency of the work.
Past performance: Cite recent commercial or institutional building repairs, especially for federal agencies or in remote/rural locations. Emphasize projects completed on compressed schedules and your record of minimizing operational disruption for occupied facilities.
Pricing: Review the solicitation for any given CLIN structure or cost breakdown requirements. Emergency work often includes unpredictable conditions; understand whether the contract allows for equitable adjustments or if you must account for contingencies in your base price. Ensure your accounting system can track costs for potential T&M components if applicable.
Regulatory compliance: Confirm active SAM registration with valid MPIN, current small business representation in DSBS, and applicable construction licenses. The Forest Service may require proof of bonding capacity; check whether a performance and payment bond will be required and at what threshold.
Safety and environmental: Highlight your EM 385-1-1 compliance plan or equivalent construction safety program if required. Arizona-based contractors should note familiarity with local building codes and environmental conditions affecting Chino Valley's high-desert climate.
