Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on multiple prior Yellowstone National Park asphalt procurements awarded to Century Companies. Prior awards include contract 140P1423P0091 ($1,764,260; HOT MIX ASPHALT), 140P1424P0048 ($1,664,133; SUPERPAVE 58-34 ASPHALT AND a mobile asphalt plant), and 140P1425P0018 ($1,344,000; hot asphalt mix and mobile plant) with performance periods in similar late-summer/early-fall windows. The current requirement for hot mix asphalt (including PG58-34) and a mobile asphalt plant at YELL locations is consistent with these earlier efforts and appears to be a continuation of the park’s recurring road repair material supply.
