This is a federal contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to J. Franco Reforestation Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business. The contract, valued at $130,232.84, is for the delivery of a range of forestry services including reforestation, tree planting, site preparation, forest thinning, wildfire support, and vegetation management.
The contract is a firm fixed-price delivery order that is part of a larger multiple-award IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contract vehicle, also awarded to J. Franco Reforestation, valued at $105 million to provide Type 2 firefighter crews for wildland fire suppression. Additionally, the company holds two other IDIQ contracts valued at $250,000 each to provide chippers and associated services, as well as miscellaneous heavy equipment to support the Forest Service's land management, fire response, and disaster relief missions.
While the specific contract award does not have a set-aside designation, J. Franco Reforestation's status as a minority-owned small disadvantaged business has likely contributed to its success in securing these federal forestry contracts with the USDA Forest Service.
