North Slope Borough Lists Multiple Active Projects, Open Bid Opportunities Across Communities
North Slope Borough lists several active projects and open bids across communities, from school construction to utility upgrades. These listings affect local contractors, services, and schedules.
The North Slope Borough procurement portal currently lists a slate of active projects and open bid opportunities spanning multiple communities, signaling near-term work for contractors and upcoming infrastructure changes for residents. The portal entries include school construction, utility repairs, geotechnical surveys, and facility upgrades, with dates shown on the listings that range from Nov-21-2025 through Feb-26-2026.
Among the largest construction solicitations is the Harold Kaveolook K-12 Replacement School - Phase 2, CIP #56206, in Kaktovik. The portal language states, "The North Slope Borough is seeking sealed bids for construction services for the Harold Kaveolook K-12 Replacement School – Phase 2 in Kaktovik, Alaska." Bidsalaska supplies additional scope: "The work includes the construction of a new 21,118 SF steel-framed, single-story addition to the Harold Kaveolook K-12 Replacement School on the school site." That listing is shown with a Jan-16-2026 date on the procurement snapshot.
School-related projects also include a Districtwide Generator Replacement & Upgrades program, CIP #06-201, described as seeking sealed bids "for various North Slope Borough School District facilities throughout the North Slope," and the Nunamiut School HVAC & Mechanical System Upgrades, CIP #56208, 56209, in Anaktuvuk Pass, with portal text noting "This project will replace failing equipment and provide upgrades to the exi..." and dates displayed as Feb-12-2026 and Feb-26-2026.
Utility and public-safety work appears across coastal and inland villages. The portal lists BUS Pump Station #2 Outer Deck Repairs - Construction Phase, CIP #60125, in Barrow with the portal fragment "The scope of work includes, but is not ..." and dates Jan-26-2026 and Feb-17-2026. Point Hope has two separate listings: a Search & Rescue Building Upgrade, CIP #18-127, and Water Storage Tanks 3 and 4 Upgrades, CIP #09-149, both described as sealed-bid construction opportunities and respectively shown with Jan-29-2026/Feb-17-2026 and Jan-22-2026 on the portal rows; several entries contain truncated scope text in the portal display.
The portal also includes a Nanushuk Formation Survey: Phase II listing described as "Geotechnical surveys and data collection services as described more completely in the Request for Proposals (RFP)." GovWin IQ and other aggregation services list additional Borough solicitations ranging from operations and maintenance for Utqiagvik gas fields to areawide airport planning and gravel acquisition, indicating a broader pipeline of materials, O&M, and upgrades beyond the construction bids visible on the portal.
Separate but related, the North Slope Borough School District issued a district-wide Request for Bids to standardize housing furniture. The Meetings Boardbook records that "The formal Request for Bids will be issued on 11/22/2024" with proposals sought by 12/13/2024 and cites BP 3310 and BP 3311 policies on purchasing procedures and competitive bidding. The board packet bears signoffs from Blake Mikesell (blake.mikesell@nsbsd.org) and DS Vadiveloo (david.vadiveloo@nsbsd.org) dated Nov 18, 2024.
Several portal entries are truncated in the procurement landing page snapshot and one listing appears incomplete: "Nuiqsut Public Works Shop Rep." Contractors and community representatives should obtain the full solicitation documents on the North Slope Borough procurement portal for complete scopes, bid submission rules, bonding and insurance requirements, and exact deadlines. Transparent procurement and timely bids will shape who secures work and how quickly repairs and construction proceed across villages in the months ahead.
