BIA SW Region Technical Forest Management 2016-2017

The Bureau of Indian Affairs Southwest Region Technical Forest Management 2016-2017 Master IDIQ contract provides comprehensive technical forest management services across reservation lands in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. The contract enables the delivery of specialized services including forest management writing, mapping, digitizing, and forest inventory analysis for various Native American tribal lands. Task orders under this vehicle focus on developing detailed forest management plans, conducting environmental assessments, performing forest inventory analyses, and creating geospatial mapping and documentation for tribal forestry and wildland fire management programs.

Task orders under this IDIQ typically range from $2,000 to $115,000 and have completion dates spanning six months to two years. Key task orders have involved forest management work at multiple tribal reservations, including Jicarilla Apache, Mescalero Apache, Southern Ute, Zuni, and various Pueblo lands. While most task orders were awarded without specific set-aside designations, one order was designated as an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise. The contract appears to support multiple prime contractors, with task orders demonstrating a focus on technical and geospatial services related to forest management. Funding consistently comes from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, specifically the Southwest Region Forestry & Wildland Fire Program, with work concentrated in the southwestern United States.
