This is a firm fixed price contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Eastern Region to Gustafson Gerald, a veteran-owned small business. The contract, valued at $8,550.00, is for timber marking and volume estimation services across approximately 190 acres of red pine stands within the Ottawa and Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forests. The work aims to support the Forest Service's sustainable timber harvesting initiatives through thinning and releasing healthy red pine trees. This award is a call order under a larger $2 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) established in October 2023 to provide ongoing timber marking and cruising services in the region over the next five years. The set-aside designation for small businesses, along with Gustafson Gerald's veteran-owned status, aligns with the agency's supplier diversity goals.
