The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Oregon-Washington Region is seeking sources for a field fencing installation project at the Horning Seed Orchard in Colton, Oregon. The project involves installing approximately 3,750 linear feet of specialized 7-foot high woven wire fencing along Unger and Baurer roads, with the primary objective of protecting improved conifer seed trees from animal browse and damage. This is currently a sources sought notice for market research to determine small business interest, with interested companies required to submit a notice of interest to Susanne Clark via email by April 7, 2025. Potential bidders must include their company name, point of contact, SAM UEI, and small business type in their response. The draft Statement of Work specifies detailed technical requirements for fence construction, including specific post burial depths, material specifications, and installation guidelines.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business designation, and there are no incumbent contractor details provided in the documentation. The project is classified under NAICS category 238990 for All Other Specialty Trade Contractors and PSC category F099 for Natural Resources/Conservation. Work is to be completed during regular working hours (sunrise to sunset, Monday-Friday) and will require the contractor to provide all necessary labor, transportation, materials, and equipment. The fencing must be designed with a 30+ year lifespan and include one 16-foot gate, with the project located at an elevation of 900 feet in Clackamas County. Payment will be made in full upon project completion and acceptance by the Contracting Officer Representative, with the government reserving the right to inspect fence line flagging and completed work to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
