Tongass Timber Sale Support 2017

The United States Forest Service, Region 10 (Tongass National Forest, Alaska) awarded a Master IDIQ for timber sale preparation services on April 13, 2016, with ordering authority closed as of March 31, 2019. The vehicle is no longer active; the ordering period ended seven years and three months ago, and no new task orders can be placed against it.

The scope contracted includes timber sale boundary marking and timber cruising, primarily variable-radius and sample tree methods. Four delivery orders were awarded between June and August 2017, covering timber sales at Wrangell Island, Rough Luck, North Kuiu, and general timber harvest support services. Work was firm-fixed-price and performance-based, with contract modifications addressing weather delays and changes of contracting officer.

The prime contractor landscape is fragmented. Droke, Cecil holds the largest share with two orders worth $91 thousand combined potential value (55% of total vehicle value). Lei Engineering & Surveying LLC and Far North Forestry LLC each hold one order, valued at $45 thousand and $27 thousand respectively. Three distinct primes competed for the vehicle's four orders.

All ordering flowed through the Forest Service Region 10 Alaska Region; no inter-agency activity occurred. Task-order values ranged from $13.4 thousand to $77.9 thousand, with a combined potential value of $164 thousand fully obligated by August 2017. Three of four orders (75%) were unrestricted; one order to Far North Forestry LLC (25%) carried a Total Small Business set-aside.

Because the ordering period has been closed for over seven years and all combined potential value has been obligated, this vehicle offers no open pursuit opportunity for new business.
