NIGP 94756: Logging Services

NIGP 94756 Logging Services is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit timber harvesting, land-lease agreements for timber and logging operations, and woody biomass processing on publicly owned property. Recent solicitations show counties and state resource departments buying timber harvest services with full responsibility for labor, equipment, and compliance; ground-lease opportunities for private operators to conduct mulching, grinding, and timber staging on county property; stream-restoration projects requiring specialized tree-pulling and large-wood placement; and biomass processing to convert slash and deadfall into chips and mulch for offsite transport or local use. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and parks departments (Butts County, Fayette County, Lewis County in Washington), state environmental and natural-resources agencies (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife), and county parks and open-space departments (Boulder County). Work scopes range from straightforward timber sales on right-of-way to complex restoration contracting with prevailing-wage and pay-equity compliance requirements.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Butts County timber harvest near Jackson, Fayette County land lease in Fayetteville), Washington (Lewis County surplus timber sale on Kray Road in Chehalis), Colorado (Boulder County biomass processing at two community sort yards and a storage facility), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Secret Creek Large Wood Project in Marion County). Representative recent opportunities include the Butts County Board of Commissioners RFP #26-12 for timber harvesting services on 17 acres of mixed hardwood and pine, with sealed proposals due February 27, 2026 and evaluation weighted toward purchase price, contractor experience, timeline compliance, and BMP adherence; the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife ITB for the Secret Creek Large Wood Project requiring specialized tree-puller equipment and large-wood placement in creek channels, with bids due April 20, 2026 and work performance scheduled June 15 through September 15, 2026; Boulder County Parks and Open Space RFP for woody biomass processing at two sort yards and one storage yard, with proposals due April 10, 2026 and a 100-point scoring matrix emphasizing 72-hour mobilization capability and equipment availability; and Fayette County ITB 27004-B for a three-parcel, 22-acre land lease adjacent to its solid waste transfer station, with bids due August 6, 2026 and the lessee assuming all operational and maintenance costs.
