About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is seeking crop tree release and midstory removal services for the Redbird Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky through RFQ 12443925Q0028. The work involves manual felling and cut-stump herbicide application using dilute imazapyr on 386 acres for crop tree release and 203 acres for midstory removal across multiple project areas in Clay and Leslie Counties. Contractors must possess a Kentucky Pesticide Applicator Certification and maintain active SAM registration under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). The evaluation will follow a best value approach, with qualifications/key personnel, past performance, and technical approach being more important than cost. The submission deadline is October 19, 2025, by 11:59 PM EDT via email to amelia.davila-garcia@usda.gov, with a site visit scheduled for October 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Redbird Ranger District office.
This procurement is set aside 100% for small business concerns with a size standard of $11.5 million, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documents. The contract period of performance runs from October 27, 2025, to April 14, 2026, providing contractors approximately six months to complete the forest management activities. The work encompasses three distinct project areas: one 386-acre crop tree release site and two midstory removal areas of 141 acres and 62 acres respectively. All services will be performed in the Daniel Boone National Forest within Clay and Leslie Counties, Kentucky, with specific project locations detailed in the accompanying geospatial maps. Offerors must submit three separate attachments including technical proposal, price proposal, and representations and certifications in Microsoft Word, Excel, or Adobe PDF format.
