The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract to OC Forestry, Incorporated for manual fuels reduction services in northern California. The contract established terms and conditions for delivery orders up to $7,000,000 to be awarded through June 2025. Four delivery orders have been awarded to date for pre-commercial thinning, hazardous fuels reduction, and slash piling services in Fort Jones, Upper Lake, and Yreka, California, valued at a total of approximately $530,000. The work supports the agency's objectives to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health through targeted vegetation management.
The originating opportunity sought quotes for campground water system improvements at four locations in Trinity County, California, with a price range of $100,000 to $250,000. The solicitation indicated the project was 100% set aside for small businesses and required bonds. However, no further information is provided on the solicitation or any subsequent awards. The indefinite delivery contract and delivery orders awarded to OC Forestry, an SBA 8(a) certified small business, indicate the Forest Service utilizes such vehicles to enlist contracted support for manual fuels management across lands under its Pacific Southwest Region purview.
