About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region intends to award a sole-source follow-on firm-fixed-price contract to Forest Biometrics Research Institute (FBRI) for Forest Projection subscription and training services, under a limited sources justification. The structured description records contract 140A1227C0010 as awarded on November 3, 2026, but the attached justification names FBRI as the proposed contractor and states that a special notice will be posted five days before award. The estimated government cost is $40 per user across 314 reservations, and the contract period runs from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031. The Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used."
The justification cites FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements). It asserts that FBRI maintains the largest research database for tree species calibration, covering over 30 species and 16,000 felled trees. It also states that FBRI is the only organization providing integrated inventory processing, including snag and down woody designs, defect allocation, spatial clumsiness index, and stem-mapped plot compilation. Switching software would require data conversion by outside consultants, risk loss of comparability in sustained-yield records, and require retraining across 15 reservations. Market research found no competing forestry software with equivalent functionality. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable based on online pricing comparisons averaging $40 per user for similar products and virtual training.
The notice is coded NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC DA10.
