Indefinite Delivery Contract 1240BH25D0027

The USDA Forest Service has awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for Architect-Engineer (AE) services across three engineering disciplines - Transportation, Facilities, and Environmental - in Forest Service Regions 6 (Oregon and Washington) and 10 (Alaska). The 5-year, $50 million IDC was set aside for small businesses and will be used to issue task orders for professional AE services such as design, drawing creation, specification development, and construction support. The primary purpose is to identify and select the most highly qualified AE firms to compete for future task orders. The contract was awarded to Water, Civil And Environmental Incorporated (WCE), a woman-owned small business certified as an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, 8(a) Program Participant, and Small Disadvantaged Business. WCE has extensive experience providing environmental services, including site assessments, remediation, cultural resource inventories, and engineering evaluations for federal land management agencies.

This procurement will be conducted in two phases - first evaluating qualifications to determine the most highly qualified offerors, followed by a request for pricing to evaluate the reasonableness of offered rates and overhead. While this Special Notice does not constitute a formal solicitation, it allows the Forest Service to identify qualified AE firms to compete for future task orders supporting the agency's conservation, land management, and environmental stewardship missions across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska regions.
