About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service is seeking a contractor to reconstruct twenty livestock watering facilities (thirteen trough systems and seven ponds) in the Payette National Forest near Council, Idaho that were destroyed by the Lava Fire of 2024. The contractor must provide all labor, supervision, equipment, transportation, tools, licenses, permits, and incidental materials necessary to complete the reconstruction work, with the government furnishing specified materials valued at approximately $56,300. Key contract requirements include removing old infrastructure, cutting hazardous trees, clearing debris, installing wildlife escape ramps, and properly disposing of waste materials, with deliverables including a proposed project plan, daily work observations, weekly status reports, and a final end status report. The government will evaluate offers based primarily on price, with technical capability and past performance combined being weighted as less important than cost. The solicitation deadline is December 30, 2025 at 1700 Central Time, with quotes to be submitted via email to john.swizdor@usda.gov, and the period of performance extends from January 15, 2026 to October 30, 2027.
This procurement is set aside 100 percent for small business concerns under NAICS code 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) with a size standard of $41 million, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documents. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed price Request for Quote with only one award issued, though the specific contract value is not disclosed in the solicitation notice. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to contract award and must comply with Service Contract Act wage determinations for Idaho counties, with minimum wage rates ranging from $13.30 to $17.75 per hour depending on the classification and contract entry date. The work will take place across multiple sites in the Payette National Forest's Indian Mountain C&H Allotment near Council, Idaho (83612), with materials to be picked up from a supply yard in Council and delivery on an FOB Destination basis.
