About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking a small business contractor to perform non-native invasive plant treatment within the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. The contract involves manual foliar and woody plant treatment using herbicide applications across multiple forest areas, including forested regions, trails, roads, streams, and administrative zones. Contractors must have current pesticide applicator licenses and use EPA-approved herbicides to treat invasive species such as Japanese barberry, multiflora rose, stiltgrass, and honeysuckle. Proposal evaluation will be conducted on a best-value basis, considering past performance, technical capability, and a green plan approximately equal to price. Proposals are due by 1:00 PM EST on June 2, 2025, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for May 13, 2025, at the Marienville Office.
The solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 115310, with a small business size standard of $11.5M. The contract performance period runs from contract signing until September 30, 2025, with treatment work anticipated to commence as early as June 16, 2025. The project will cover approximately 633 acres of invasive plant management across various forest districts, with treatment methods including cut-stump, foliar spraying, and manual techniques. Vehicle access will be permitted using trucks, UTVs, ATVs, and rubber-tired tractors, with some areas requiring a Forest Service gate key. The place of performance is Warren, Pennsylvania, and the contract includes specific environmental considerations such as avoiding bat roost sites and using appropriate protective measures in high-density tick areas.
