About this opportunity

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotes for sawyer crew services to remove salt cedar trees at the Kern National Wildlife Refuge in Delano, California. The work involves using chainsaws to cut mature salt cedar trees (over 40 years old, reaching heights of 20+ feet with bases up to 12 inches in diameter) to a maximum height of 18 inches off the ground across upland habitat that supports endangered San Joaquin kit fox and blunt-nosed leopard lizard. Contractors must provide quotes for three options: cutting 18 net acres (Option 1), 25 net acres (Option 2), or 30 net acres (Option 3). The evaluation will be based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria from a responsible source. The most recent amendment established a quote submission deadline of June 13, 2025, at 12:00 EST, with quotes to be submitted via email to oscar_orozco@fws.gov.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services) with a size standard of $9.5 million, and no incumbent contractor was identified as this represents a new requirement. The contract period of performance has been modified through amendments, with the current schedule running from October 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Work must be performed during normal business hours (0700-1530, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays) at the refuge location at 10811 Corcoran Road, Delano, California. The project area encompasses up to 30 net acres total, with contractors required to perform all work on foot once on-site, though existing roads and levees may be used for access. Service Contract Act wage determinations apply to this forestry and land management services contract, and no government equipment will be provided to the contractor.
