About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 9 - Eastern Region, awarded a $177,278 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Outback Brush Cutting & Clearing LLC, a Minnesota-based small business, for site preparation services on the Chippewa National Forest. The contract, set aside for small businesses and effective through June 15, 2026, encompasses 647 total acres of forest site preparation using two specialized methods: the Harrow method for mechanical soil scarification and disking across 446 acres, and the Roller Chopper method for soil scarification and vegetation removal across 201 acres. Work will be performed across multiple ranger districts near Deer River, Minnesota, with operations scheduled to commence in mid-August 2025, contingent on weather and soil conditions.
The site preparation services directly support the Forest Service's forest regeneration objectives by preparing sites for seedling planting and maintaining forest health through invasive species prevention and residual tree protection. Outback Brush Cutting & Clearing LLC, registered in the System for Award Management since July 2018, has established a track record of specialized forestry management and land clearing services for federal agencies, with demonstrated expertise in mechanical disking, soil scarification, and related site preparation techniques. The award was made following a competitive small-business-set-aside solicitation posted in August 2025, with technical capability and past performance weighted more heavily than price in the selection process.
