The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service has awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract to Red Leaf Forestry, Inc., an SBA-certified 8(a) program participant and minority-owned small business. The $10 million contract vehicle enables the Forest Service to procure a range of vegetative management services such as tree planting, herbicide application, midstory removal, timber stand improvement, and invasive species control across national forests, wildlife refuges, and military installations in the Southern Region.
Under this IDIQ contract, the Forest Service has issued various firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Red Leaf Forestry for specific forestry management tasks, including planting containerized longleaf and shortleaf pine seedlings, conducting herbicide release treatments, felling hazardous trees, and removing woody vegetation. The awarded delivery orders, valued from $8,955 to $60,000, support the agency's efforts to restore forest ecosystems, reduce wildfire risk, and manage natural resources within the Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, and Angelina-Sabine National Forests in Texas. While the original solicitation was a total small business set-aside, some of the subsequent delivery orders did not utilize any socioeconomic program designations.
