About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southeast is seeking forestry services for a reforestation initiative at Naval Air Station Meridian, Mississippi, under solicitation N6945025Q1003. The procurement involves two distinct silvicultural practices: aerial herbicide application during late summer/early fall to prepare the land, followed by hand planting of containerized loblolly and longleaf pine seedlings during late winter to early spring. Contractors must provide comprehensive services including project oversight, permitting, licensing, disposal costs, labor, transportation, and all materials necessary to complete the work. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing price, technical plans for aerial herbicide operations including takeoff/landing procedures, and past performance records. Offers are due by August 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM CST, with pre-proposal site visits conducted on July 22, 2025, and an additional visit scheduled for August 8, 2025.
This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) with a size standard of $11.5 million. The work encompasses two tracts totaling 224 acres: a 116-acre tract at Naval Air Station Meridian and a 108-acre tract at the Outlying Field Joe Williams in DeKalb, Mississippi. The aerial herbicide application must achieve 95% coverage using a specific chemical mixture including Imazapyr, Glyphosate, and various additives applied at precise ratios per acre. Tree planting requires achieving a density of 544 seedlings per acre with an allowable variance of +/- 50 seedlings per acre, utilizing genetically improved containerized pine seedlings. The herbicide application window spans from July 1 to October 1, 2025, while the tree planting phase must occur between December 15, 2025, and March 15, 2026. The contract incorporates prevailing wage requirements under wage determination 2015-5169 and includes provisions for H-2B visa workers with extended security processing requirements.
