About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is soliciting proposals for deferred maintenance work at three backcountry airstrips—Chamberlain, Cold Meadows, and Cabin Creek—located within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in the Payette National Forest, Idaho. The work encompasses vegetation cutting, infrastructure installation and replacement, site grading, and environmental restoration using non-mechanized and hand tools to preserve wilderness conditions. This firm fixed-price solicitation (1240LT26R0008) will be evaluated using a tradeoff process that weighs past performance, experience, technical approach, and price equally, with awards going to the offeror providing the best value rather than necessarily the lowest price. Offerors must submit a technical proposal not exceeding 20 pages and a price proposal, with the government assessing contractor confidence in understanding and completing the work on a scale of high, some, or low confidence. The deadline for proposal submission is January 16, 2026, with questions due by December 22, 2025; the original question deadline and proposal due date have been extended through multiple amendments to accommodate offeror inquiries.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a NAICS code of 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and a small business size standard of $37 million. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The estimated contract value ranges from $500,000 to $1,000,000, with work scheduled to commence within 30 calendar days of the notice to proceed and be completed within 515 calendar days. The contract performance period runs from May 15, 2026 to October 12, 2027, accounting for winter shutdowns typical to the region. All work will be performed in McCall, Idaho 83638, with materials transported via helicopter or airplane due to the remote wilderness location accessible only by air or hiking trails. A 20% bid guarantee is required, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates for heavy construction work in Idaho County.
