About this opportunity

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region is seeking a contractor to perform tree planting services in the Allegheny National Forest's Bradford Ranger District. The solicitation requires planting 6,600 government-furnished tree seedlings, including oak species like Red Oak, White Oak, and Chestnut Oak, across 34 acres of forest land. Contractors must provide labor, equipment, transportation, and expertise to plant seedlings using Bar/Hoedad tools with specific spacing requirements, install tree shelters, and construct woven wire planting cribs and individual tree fences. The evaluation will be based on past performance, relevant experience, and technical capability, with contractors required to submit technical and price proposals, past performance documentation, and equipment and personnel lists. Technical questions must be submitted to Ashley Stoltzfus by April 7, 2025, with proposals due by April 15, 2025, and the contract performance period running from April 16, 2025, to June 1, 2025.

The solicitation is set aside for total small business participation, with potential additional considerations for HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, and women-owned small businesses. The North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 115310 with a size standard of $11.5 million. No incumbent contractor is mentioned, and the contract is structured as a firm fixed-price award. The planting will involve 3,300 Red Oak, 1,900 White Oak, and 1,400 Chestnut Oak seedlings, utilizing 15 x 15 spacing and a 1 x 1 scalping method on previously herbicide-treated and fenced land. The place of performance is located in Warren, Pennsylvania, specifically within the Bradford Ranger District of the Allegheny National Forest, with access to the planting site by truck and boundaries clearly marked by existing fencing.
