R1 Road Maintenance

The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is seeking road maintenance services for Region 1, which encompasses national forests in Montana, North Dakota, and Idaho, through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The solicitation (1282B125R0007) requires contractors to provide surface maintenance, vegetation management, and hazard removal services across three administrative zones: Idaho, West, and East. Contractors must submit pricing for at least one geographic zone and demonstrate capabilities in road maintenance activities. The evaluation will utilize a tradeoff process where non-price factors are considered significantly more important than price, with the government intending to award contracts to approximately 20 qualified offerors. Preliminary questions are due by May 9, 2025 at 1:00 PM MDT, and full proposals must be submitted by June 4, 2025 at 3:00 PM MDT.

The solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses, with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 237310 and a size standard of $45 million. The contract has a base performance period from approximately July 7, 2025 to July 5, 2030, with a maximum order value of $500,000 and a total contract ceiling of $20,000,000. The government guarantees a minimum of $500 for the base period, and contractors can expect task orders under $100,000 to be pre-priced within the contract. The place of performance is primarily in Eureka, Montana, but will include various national forests across the specified administrative zones. Potential task orders will focus on road maintenance services, with pricing structured across surface maintenance, roadway vegetation maintenance, and hazard removal and cleanup activities, all priced on a per-mile basis.
