About this IDV

Raven Environmental Services, Inc., a small business headquartered in Huntsville, Texas, was awarded a $7.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 8 – Southern Region, for vegetation management services and wildlife protection services at Kisatchie National Forest. The agreement was established through a total small business set-aside and runs through November 30, 2027, with an option year exercised for the period December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026. The contract employs firm fixed-price pricing for individual task orders, and services are performed primarily in Louisiana locations including Winnfield, Bentley, Provencal, and Boyce.

The primary deliverables under this BPA center on Red-cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) habitat management, an endangered species protection initiative. Task orders issued to date encompass installation of artificial nesting cavity structures, refurbishment of existing cavity inserts, delivery of contractor-supplied inserts, and related labor for RCW habitat restoration across multiple ranger districts within Kisatchie National Forest. Individual task orders range from approximately $2,316 to $44,464, with most containing completion dates between 2024 and 2026. The contract demonstrates the Forest Service's commitment to implementing species recovery programs under the Endangered Species Act through qualified small business contractors with demonstrated expertise in wildlife habitat restoration and natural resource management. Task orders consistently maintain small business set-aside designations and firm fixed-price structures, with performance locations distributed across the Winn, Catahoula, and Calcasieu ranger districts.
