Coronado NF Biological Survey 2016-2021

The Coronado National Forest Biological Survey 2016-2021 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle is designed to support biological and environmental assessment services for the U.S. Forest Service, specifically within the Southwestern Region (Region 3). The contract enables the procurement of specialized ecological survey services, focusing on wildlife monitoring, habitat assessments, and compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. Task orders under this vehicle are structured to conduct targeted biological surveys of endangered and sensitive species within various ranger districts of the Coronado National Forest in Arizona.

The task orders primarily involve protocol-level wildlife surveys, with a specific emphasis on species like the Mexican spotted owl and western yellow-billed cuckoo. Typical task orders range from $13,170 to $42,252, with performance periods generally spanning several months to two years. Moors Wildlife Management Services appears to be a frequently awarded contractor, with task orders covering survey work in mountain ranges such as Santa Catalina, Pinaleno, Galiuro, and Dragoon. The contract vehicle does not consistently apply small business set-asides, though some task orders have been awarded to woman-owned small businesses and self-certified small disadvantaged businesses. Performance locations are concentrated in the ranger districts of the Coronado National Forest in Arizona, with the U.S. Forest Service serving as the primary funding agency.
