C05b_A001_BRF_MandatoryContractAreas.gdb.zip

This file is a geodatabase (GDB) containing mandatory contract areas for the Bitterroot Front 10-Year Integrated Resource Service Contract (IRSC). The file serves as a geospatial dataset defining the specific project boundaries and treatment areas that contractors must address under solicitation number 12363N26R4014. The geodatabase appears to be a technical resource file rather than a primary contract document, providing spatial data for the 145,000-acre project area spanning the Stevensville and Darby Ranger Districts on the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana.

The mandatory contract areas depicted in this geodatabase correspond to forest restoration activities required under the RFP, including thinning, harvesting, mechanical fuel reduction, prescribed burning, timber cruising, unit layout, and road work. Contractors bidding on this Total Small Business Set-Aside contract (NAICS 113310, 500-employee threshold) will need to utilize this geospatial data to understand project scope, plan operations, and develop proposals. The file was updated on 8/3/2026 as part of Amendment 001 to the solicitation. Proposals must be submitted via email to Mark Phillipp (mark.phillipp@usda.gov) and Matt Daigle (matthew.daigle@usda.gov) at the Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
