This firm-fixed price contract was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region to Tom Lodge, a small business based in North Carolina, to provide services for the treatment of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The total contract ceiling value is $73,980.00, and the period of performance runs from September 23, 2024 to April 30, 2025. The contractor will be responsible for suppressing HWA populations and protecting the Eastern Hemlock trees in the park, which provide aesthetic, recreational, and ecological benefits. This procurement was set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). Tom Lodge also holds two active Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) from the U.S. Forest Service, including a $7 million Blanket Purchase Agreement and a $10 million small business set-aside, to compete for future forestry-related work on federal lands.
