The related Sources Sought seeks contractor capabilities for mechanical vegetation manipulation and fuel reduction treatments on slopes less than 50%, including brush mastication, pre-commercial tree thinning, site preparation, and furrow ripping. Responses are due January 28, 2025 at 4:00 PM PST, with questions due January 21, 2025. Work will occur when roads are open (generally April 15-October 15). The NAICS code is 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). Contractors must provide equipment, labor, materials, supervision, transportation and maintain a safety plan. The Forest Service will evaluate responses to determine interest and capabilities before a potential future solicitation.
