About this file
This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation 1240BF26Q0008, issued by USDA-FS CSA Northwest 4 (Portland, OR) on January 30, 2026. The amendment responds to industry questions regarding helicopter services and clarifies key terms while maintaining all other contract conditions unchanged.
The amendment addresses two primary inquiries: (1) the anticipated total flight hours during the May through October performance period, for which the government provides a best guess estimate in accordance with FAR 16.503-4 as outlined in the attached schedule of items; and (2) winter season equipment stationing requirements, clarifying that the government will not dictate where the contractor stations equipment, only that the contractor must remain available to respond to government requests within the active task order performance period of February 15, 2026 through February 14, 2027. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the offer submission deadline through completion of the amendment, written acknowledgment on offer copies, or separate electronic communication referencing the solicitation and amendment numbers. Failure to acknowledge receipt by the specified date and time may result in offer rejection.
