The U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region established this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for labor-intensive vegetation management services across national forests in Washington state. The master contract, awarded in May 2016 with a last date to order of May 3, 2021, covers a range of forestry-related services including tree planting, pre-commercial thinning, pruning, hand piling of slash, manual tree fertilization, and manual herbicide application. The contract encompasses national forests divided into two geographical zones: the East Zone (Colville National Forest and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest) and the West Zone (Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Olympic National Forest, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Mt. Hood National Forest, and Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area).

The task orders under this vehicle demonstrate a consistent focus on vegetation management services, with contract values typically ranging from $10,000 to $800,000 and performance periods spanning several months to two years. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Summitt Forests, Inc., Ramos Reforestation, Inc., Quicksilver Contracting Co., and Cutting Edge Forestry, Inc. Most task orders are firm fixed-price and support wildfire risk mitigation, forest health improvement, and reforestation efforts. While most task orders did not have a set-aside designation, a notable portion were set aside for small businesses. Common scopes include tree planting, pre-commercial thinning, hazardous fuels reduction, hand piling, and forest restoration activities across various ranger districts in Washington state, with primary performance locations in areas like the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Olympic National Forest, and Three Rivers Ranger District.
