Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Calhoun Quarry, INC. for the purchase of rock to be delivered to Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge. The method of delivery will be "tail gate spread" of aggregate stone (CA-6) to locations along Calhoun Wetlands Road and Swan Lake Levee Road.

• The contract is for a firm fixed price.
• The NAICS code for this requirement is 212312, Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining and Quarrying.
