BIA SW Forest Inventory Data Collection 2017-2022

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Southwest Region has established a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Forest Inventory Data Collection services spanning 2017-2022. The contract encompasses comprehensive technical forest management support, including professional writing, geographic mapping, digital cartography, and forest inventory analysis. Contractors are tasked with providing specialized forestry services to support the BIA's Forestry & Wildland Fire Program, with a focus on detailed environmental and resource management documentation.

The Master IDIQ has generated multiple delivery orders, typically valued between $12,000 and $20,366, with individual task orders focused on specific tribal lands such as Pueblo of San Ildefonso and Cochiti Pueblo. These task orders involve conducting forest inventory analyses, which appear to be geographically concentrated in New Mexico's tribal territories. The contract does not utilize specific small business set-asides, and task orders are consistently priced using firm fixed price mechanisms. Delivery orders have demonstrated relatively short completion timelines, ranging from approximately 9 to 15 months, suggesting focused, project-specific engagements within the broader forest management and inventory collection framework established by the BIA Southwest Region.
