Delivery of Aggregate Material to the Kisatchie National Forest

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking contractors to deliver aggregate material specifically to the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. The procurement involves supplying and delivering 3" x 5" ballast aggregate to five different stockpile points across the Kisatchie Ranger District, with the contractor responsible for providing all materials, labor, tools, equipment, vehicles, and safety measures. Offers must include three components submitted via email to Melody Flores: a technical proposal demonstrating past performance from similar projects within the past three years and technical capability including equipment and personnel details, a price proposal, and contractor representations and certifications. The government will evaluate submissions based on cost, past performance, and the technical proposal, with offerors required to maintain active System for Award Management registration. The solicitation is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation with bids due September 24, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, and the Forest Service will provide 72 hours notification prior to needed deliveries.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 212312 (Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining and Quarrying) with varying size standards listed across the documentation. The contract involves delivering a total of 1,225 tons of aggregate material distributed across five stockpile locations, with individual site requirements ranging from 125 to 550 tons per point, though one document references 95,470 units suggesting potential discrepancies in quantity specifications. The period of performance spans from September 26, 2025 through December 31, 2025, with deliveries scheduled to occur randomly based on Forest Service notification and a specific delivery date of October 28, 2025 mentioned for habitat improvement project purposes. Performance will take place at various locations within the Kisatchie National Forest in Provencal, Louisiana, specifically across Natchitoches Parish, with the contract duration not exceeding one year and six months including any options.
