Apache-Sitgreaves NF Aggregate Supply IDIQ 2017-2019

The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest Aggregate Supply Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded in January 2017, is a multiple-award contract designed to facilitate the procurement of aggregate materials within a 150-mile radius of Springerville, Arizona. The contract enables the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to acquire stockpiled aggregate for various infrastructure and road maintenance projects within the National Forest system. Task orders under this vehicle primarily focus on supplying crushed stone, gravel, and other aggregate materials used for road surfacing, stabilization, reconstruction, and forest restoration efforts.

Task orders under this IDIQ typically range from $5,000 to $231,000, with completion dates extending through December 2019 and occasionally into 2020. Frequently awarded contractors include Perkins Cinders, Inc. and Hatch Construction & Paving, Inc., with a mix of small business set-aside and unrestricted procurement approaches. The delivery orders support specific engineering and infrastructure projects such as road maintenance on National Forest System Roads (NFSR), surface rock replacement in different districts (Alpine and Springerville), and forest restoration initiatives like the 4-FRI (Forests, Rangelands, and Communities) program. Most task orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts and are administered by the USDA Forest Service's Southwestern Region, specifically the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests in Arizona.
