About this IDV
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 9 (Eastern Region), awarded a single Indefinite Delivery Contract to Brendan J Devlin (UEI: GHBGHFW5LZX8) for targeted grazing services using goats to manage invasive vegetation and improve grassland bird habitat at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington, Illinois. The contract was awarded on April 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 1, 2026, and carries a ceiling value of $1,000,000.00. The initial task order issued under this Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is valued at $120,000.00 on a firm fixed-price basis. No set-aside designation was applied to the contract award, despite the underlying solicitation being a total small business set-aside. The contractor will deploy goats to defoliate invasive shrubs, trees, and forbs across designated areas at the prairie, with work concentrated in bunker field areas to enhance habitat conditions for grassland bird species.
The original solicitation, posted on August 26, 2024, with a closing date of September 13, 2024, sought multiple firm fixed-price IDIQ contracts under a five-year ordering period with a $2.5 million average annual receipts size standard for small businesses under NAICS code 112420 (Goat Farming). The Forest Service anticipated making multiple contract awards to provide flexibility in managing invasive woody vegetation across high and low density invasion areas at the property. Service Contract Act wage determinations applied to the solicitation. The effort represents an ecosystem management approach leveraging biological control methods to restore grassland conditions while supporting wildlife habitat objectives at this national resource area.
