About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for fuels reduction and site preparation work on the Sierra National Forest. The solicitation number is 127EAS26Q0048, issued by the USDA Forest Service CSA Southwest 2 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Offers are due by October 9, 2026, at 1500 PT, with a delivery date of October 16, 2027. The contract is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 115310, with a size standard of $34 million. The acquisition method is Request for Quote (RFQ), and Christopher Kane serves as the contracting information point at 877-372-7248.

The project, located on the Tamarack Ridge area of the High Sierra Ranger District near Prather, California, requires the contractor to fell standing dead trees, thin surviving conifer saplings where appropriate, and treat created and existing slash, brush, and remnant Creek fire right-of-way material to prepare the site for future tree planting. The contract includes five line items: three base items covering felling and piling/vegetation treatment for specified units (32, 36, 102, and 7) and two optional items for additional units (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16, 30, 38) plus an optional biological monitor for Yosemite Toad compliance. The wage determination applies Fresno County rates (2015-5609; 1977-0727). Offerors must submit completed pricing schedules in Excel format to christopher.kane2@usda.gov, provide technical capability information and past performance data, and verify small-business status. Payment will be made through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). All contractor vehicles must carry minimum 5-pound ABC fire extinguishers and basic hand tools, and operations must comply with Forest Service fire restrictions and Industrial Fire Precaution Levels.
