About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking a small business contractor to provide water delivery services for the North Fork Seed Orchard located in Plains, Montana. The solicitation requires a water tender capable of delivering 3,000 gallons of water weekly on Mondays from June through September, with specific equipment requirements including a 1,500-3,000 gallon tank and a removable draft pump. Contractors must submit a technical proposal, price proposal, and representations/certifications by 5 PM Mountain Time on April 22, 2025. The government will evaluate offers based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with the contract covering a base year from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026, and four potential one-year option extensions through May 1, 2030. Vendors must be prepared to navigate challenging mountainous terrain with narrow roads and limited turnarounds, approximately 40 miles from Plains/Thompson Falls.
The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 115310 with a size standard of $10 million. This is a new requirement without a previous incumbent contractor. The delivery location is situated on Little Thompson Peak in a remote forest service area with Maintenance Level 2 road conditions, which means only high-clearance vehicles can access the site. Invoicing will likely occur monthly or biweekly, with payment processed on a Net-30 basis following Contracting Officer's Representative acceptance. The contract does not specify a precise award value, but vendors should be prepared for potential modifications based on road conditions or emergency scenarios that might interrupt water delivery. The Forest Service will independently manage road condition awareness, and contractors would not be required to make deliveries if the area becomes a fire zone. Proposals will be evaluated holistically, considering the contractor's ability to consistently and safely provide water delivery services in challenging terrain.
