This is a Request for Information (RFI) Form template for solicitation 127EAW26Q0002 - Stanislaus NF Admin Site Improvements. The form serves as the official mechanism for contractors to submit pre-proposal inquiries to the U.S. Forest Service (USDA) regarding the solicitation. All RFI submissions must be completed using this editable form and submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, Gregory.Cunningham@usda.gov, by February 18th, 2026, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. Questions may address solicitation evaluation factors or statement of work and technical data. The form requires contractors to identify their company name, submitting contact person, submission date, phone number, and numbered inquiry entries, with space for up to eight RFI questions and corresponding USFS responses.

This RFI is part of a Total Small Business Set Aside project valued between $250,000 and $500,000 managed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 11th, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time at the Summit Ranger District Office in Pinecrest, California; attendance is critical as sites are not publicly accessible and this represents the only opportunity to view project locations. Formal quote submissions are due to the same Contracting Officer by March 3rd, 2026, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. RFI responses will be provided as written amendments posted to SAM.gov, and all information presented during the site visit will not modify the solicitation terms unless formally amended in writing.
