NRCS Ecological Services 2013-2016

The NRCS Northeast Region established this Master IDIQ on June 3, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $100 thousand and a last date to order of June 2, 2016—the vehicle is no longer active for new orders. The scope covers applied ecological restoration services, including wetland restoration planning and property restoration work at specific sites across the Northeast, typically with firm fixed-price task orders valued between $8 thousand and $40 thousand and performance periods of two to three months.

Activity on the vehicle was front-loaded: five of seven task orders were awarded in September–October 2014, with two follow-on orders in August 2015. The most recent order closed in August 2015, and the ordering period expired a decade ago. All $100 thousand of combined potential value has been obligated and invoiced; no growth is possible.

Competition was minimal and dominated by one prime. Conservation Lands, LLC captured 5 of 7 orders ($65 thousand potential value, 65% of the vehicle total), while Res Great Lakes LLC held 2 orders ($36 thousand, 36%). All orders were placed by a single customer agency—NRCS Northeast Region itself—limiting external visibility or cross-agency demand signals. About 71% of orders carried a Total Small Business set-aside; the remainder were unrestricted.

Orders funded wetland restoration projects (Wetland Reserve Program, or WRP) across Pennsylvania, with deliverables including ecological restoration design and on-site restoration services. Task-order durations typically spanned three months from award to ultimate completion, with invoicing cycles compressed into six-week windows following initial design drafts.

This vehicle offers no current pursue opportunity. Its ordering window closed in mid-2016, all potential value is exhausted, and it remains superseded in NRCS's contract portfolio. Monitor NRCS for successor ecological services IDIQs if your firm performed under this vehicle or holds relevant Northeast restoration capabilities.
