The U.S. Army needs a small business to move a 2-story historic farmhouse intact from Moorhead to Rollag, MN, and prepare the site for its new foundation.

Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The contractor will move the Bernhardson Farmhouse intact from Moorhead, MN to the Rollag site and place it on a foundation. The contractor will also prepare the site for the new foundation, including grading and seeding. The farmhouse is a 2-story rectangular wood-frame structure built in 1874, measuring 28? 4? x 20? 10?, with a pitched roof that is 26? 5? at center.
  • What's the contract structure and timeline? This is a solicitation for a 100% small business set-aside contract. The contract will be awarded to a single contractor, and the work must be completed by the end of the 2026 construction season. Final site restoration and seeding may take place in 2027.
  • How will they pick the winner? The evaluation will be based on the contractor's experience with intact structure moves, their past performance, and their price proposal.
  • When and how do you bid? Bids are due on June 3, 2026, and must be submitted through SAM.gov.

Routine commodity buy — low-effort bid, modest payoff.
