The Forest Service awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Cross Check Services LLC to provide mechanical fuels reduction and vegetation management services on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit in California. Valued at up to $15 million over 10 years, the IDC enables the issuance of task orders on a competitive basis among awardees for thinning, piling, mastication, and road maintenance activities to maintain forest health. Originally solicited in 2020 with a description of stewardship projects authorized under the Agricultural Act of 2014, the IDC and subsequent task orders aim to procure services that reduce wildfire risk and improve forest conditions through removal and management of vegetation and forest products in the Lake Tahoe area.
Task orders issued against the IDC will be competed among awardees over the life of the contract. The original solicitation anticipated awarding up to ten IDCs for work on the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, with no set-asides applied. Services procured under task orders are expected to include thinning, piling, mastication, and road maintenance to maintain a healthy forest environment through various activities including but not limited to forest product removal and logging.
