How to bid on Snow, Ice and Sand Removal Services for the DEPT of the Army
What the Army is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Army Garrison Natick is seeking information from potential contractors for snow, ice, and sand removal services. This includes plowing roads, parking areas, and sidewalks, clearing stairs and entryways, applying sand and salt, street sweeping, and hauling away snow.
This is a request for information (RFI), also known as a sources sought notice. It helps the Army identify businesses capable of performing this work. While not a direct solicitation for bids, responding can position your company for future opportunities. The contract is anticipated to have one base year and nine 12-month option years.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This notice was published on July 23, 2026. If you have questions for clarification, they must be emailed by August 6, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. The deadline for submitting your capability information is August 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.
Responses received after the deadline will not be considered. This is an information-gathering stage, so no contract will be awarded directly from this announcement. The Army will use the information to plan for a potential future solicitation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses specializing in facilities maintenance, particularly those with experience in snow and ice management, street sweeping, and general pavement clearing services. The relevant NAICS code should align with these services.
Firms with experience in providing services to government entities, especially the Department of Defense, may find this particularly relevant. Businesses of all sizes, including those with specific socioeconomic statuses, are encouraged to respond.
How to respond to this notice
To respond, you must email your capability information to [email protected]. Your email should include your business size (and socioeconomic status), your applicable NAICS code, and your CAGE code. If you hold a GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, include your contract number.
All submissions must be sent via email only. The government will not pay for any costs incurred in preparing your response. Not responding to this sources sought notice does not prevent you from participating in any future solicitation.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is not a bid, provide clear and concise information about your company's capabilities. Highlight past projects that demonstrate your experience with snow, ice, and sand removal, especially for large facilities or complex sites.
Ensure all requested information, such as business size, NAICS code, and CAGE code, is accurate and complete. Clearly articulate your firm's ability to provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, and supervision necessary for the described services. Pay close attention to the deadlines for both questions and submissions.
