The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Eastern Region awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued up to $1,500,000 to Cutting Edge Forestry, Inc., a small business contractor. The contract provides forestry vegetation management treatment services such as hazardous fuels reduction, tree thinning, invasive species removal, and reforestation on the Wayne National Forest. Under this IDC, the Forest Service has issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders for specific forestry work including midstory control using chainsaws and other vegetation management tasks. The delivery orders range from $2,500 to over $50,000 and cover areas in Ohio. This IDC allows the Forest Service to issue task orders on an as-needed basis to support their land stewardship and wildfire risk mitigation objectives across the region. No small business set-asides were used for the task orders issued to date. The initial IDC contract opportunity was posted as a pre-solicitation and designated for total small business participation. Cutting Edge Forestry, a for-profit small business, was ultimately awarded the single-award IDC in August 2020 after submitting a proposal. The contractor has held over 30 federal contracts and delivery orders with the USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, primarily in the western United States, to provide a variety of forestry services.
