The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Eastern Region (Region 9), awarded a $19,789 firm fixed-price purchase order to Forecon Inc., a small business forestry contractor based in Falconer, New York, for foliar herbicide application services in the Allegheny National Forest. The contract, effective July 1, 2025, through September 15, 2025, requires Forecon Inc. to apply Roundup Custom and Oust XP herbicides using backpack and mist blower spray equipment on approximately 52 acres of understory vegetation across four forest units in the Bradford Ranger District of Warren County, Pennsylvania. The work is designated as a total small business set-aside and focuses on treating non-native invasive species while maintaining a 90% herbicide effectiveness standard, with performance concentrated during the treatment window of August 25 through September 15, 2025.
Forecon Inc. is well-positioned to execute this contract based on its extensive track record providing forest management and vegetation control services to the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region since 2002. The contractor currently holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the agency totaling $750,000 for hemlock woolly adelgid and emerald ash borer treatment work in the Finger Lakes and Allegheny National Forests, demonstrating established capabilities in specialized forest health interventions and compliance with federal forestry management requirements.
