This commercial acquisition is a 100% Small Business set-aside. The applicable NAICS code is 115310- Support Activities for Forestry. The corresponding size standard is $7.5 million. Offerors will be evaluated on technical capability (experience, equipment, and performance schedule), past performance and price. The Contract will be awarded to the offeror whose submittal, in compliance with the solicitation, is the best value to the Government.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered by the government. In accordance with FAR 4.1102(a), prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award of a contract.
