The Forest Service Southwestern Region awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to TF Forestry to conduct common stand examinations. Valued at up to $7 million, this total small business set-aside IDV enables the agency to issue task orders from August 2021 through September 2025 for collection of stand examination data on National Forests. Per the originating solicitation, the contractor will furnish all labor, supervision, transportation, lodging, equipment and supplies, excluding government items, to perform stand examinations in compliance with terms. Stand examinations involve collecting and examining data on forest stands to assess composition and growth. This IDV aims to procure these examination services on an as-needed basis to support the agency's forest management and planning activities across its Southwestern Region lands over the four-year ordering period.
The awarded IDV establishes TF Forestry as the prime contractor responsible for providing common stand examination services when called upon by task orders under the contract ceiling. The firm will mobilize personnel and equipment to conduct on-site assessments of forest stands and collect the requisite data to assist the Forest Service in monitoring and planning sustainable forest management activities. This vehicle provides a compliant mechanism for the agency to fulfill short-term needs for stand examination data in a manner consistent with small business goals.
