Prefabricated Rail Timber Crossing Panels

The Department of the Army, specifically the W6QM MICC-Fort Drum, is seeking prefabricated timber crossing panels for 11 railroad crossings. These panels are required for Maintenance-of-Way personnel to replace cross-ties that maintain the track gauge of 56-1/2 inches. The procurement specifies full-depth, creosote-treated hardwood panels—primarily oak with some mixed hardwoods—designed to fit 100-lb RE rail placed on 10-foot cross-ties. To ensure a proper fit inside the rail gauge and on the rail field side, the panels must feature detailed cuts, notching, beveling, and drilling. The creosote treatment must meet a standard retention of 7 pounds per cubic foot to protect against decay and insects while maintaining wood elasticity.

This solicitation, identified as W911S225U0731, is designated as a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside. It falls under NAICS code 336999, All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, and PSC 2250, TRACK MATERIAL, RAILROAD. Kevin Harp is the primary point of contact for the requirement. Responses to this notice must be submitted by the deadline of May 27, 2025.
