Mark Twain National Forest Coffman Appraisal

The USDA Forest Service is seeking a professional real estate appraisal for the Coffman property, a 36.9-acre parcel of nonfederal land located within the Mark Twain National Forest in Christian County, Missouri. The appraisal must comply with Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions (UASFLA) and be conducted by a Missouri state certified licensed appraiser with demonstrated experience in rural land appraisals to estimate the market value of this property, which includes a dilapidated house, old barn, and primarily forested land with white and red oak trees. The contractor must personally inspect the property, verify legal descriptions, analyze highest and best use, and submit a comprehensive appraisal report within 45 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM Eastern on August 14, 2025, and must be submitted electronically to lawrence.jackson@usda.gov. The contract will be awarded using a best-value trade-off evaluation methodology, with technical factors and representations weighted more heavily than price, focusing on state certification, UASFLA course completion, professional experience, and knowledge of applicable appraisal standards.

This solicitation is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 531320 with a size standard of $9.5 million, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the documentation. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement with a performance period extending from August 25, 2025, through June 30, 2026, though the government prefers a 45-day initial report delivery timeline. The scope involves a single line item for one UASFLA compliant real estate appraisal, with provisions for potential additional timber cruise services to be negotiated separately if necessary. Performance will take place in Rolla, Missouri, where the Mark Twain National Forest office is located, though the actual property being appraised is situated in Christian County, Missouri. The Independent Government Estimate and specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, but the solicitation indicates contractors should submit pricing for the entire scope of work.
