The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) established a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Technical Editing Services to support the Science Delivery Group (SDG) in Asheville, North Carolina. This contract vehicle is designed to provide professional technical editing support for scientific research documentation and publications. The IDIQ enables the agency to quickly acquire editing services through pre-qualified contractors as scientific research results require refinement and preparation for publication.
The Master IDIQ was awarded on September 26, 2016, with a last order date of August 31, 2017, and was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside contract. The initial task orders under this vehicle were delivery orders for technical editor services at SRS Headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina, with both task orders utilizing firm fixed-price pricing mechanisms. While the specific dollar values were not disclosed in the available documentation, the contract appears focused on providing short-term, targeted technical editing support for scientific research documentation. The contract's small business designation suggests an intentional approach to providing opportunities for smaller editing and publishing service providers to support federal research communication needs.
