The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service's Eastern Region has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $1,250,000 to Pizzo & Associates, Ltd., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, for non-native invasive species (NNIS) removal services at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois. The 5-year IDC (June 2023 to May 2028) allows for task orders to be competed among nominated contractors across five one-year ordering periods. Under this IDC, Pizzo & Associates has received several delivery orders for land and water restoration, including woody vegetation removal, reforestation, and invasive species eradication. The work aims to support the maintenance and restoration of the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie's native ecosystems. The USDA Forest Service anticipates awarding multiple contracts from this Total Small Business set-aside solicitation, with future task orders competed among nominated contractors. The contracted services align with NAICS code 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry. The delivery orders issued to Pizzo & Associates, Ltd. under the IDC include a $33,264 firm-fixed-price contract for the Blodgett Woody Vegetation Removal project, an $11,970 firm-fixed-price contract for the Brown Circle Extension, and a $94,520 firm-fixed-price contract for reforestation and invasive species eradication in the Browncircle/Bluebell Wood area. These targeted projects demonstrate the company's expertise in ecological conservation and habitat enhancement through vegetation management, habitat restoration, and invasive species control.
