Regions 01 and 02 A&E Services

The USDA Forest Service is preparing to solicit multiple indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contracts for Architectural and Engineering Facilities Design Services across Regions 1 and 2, with a submission deadline of June 15, 2026. This procurement is set aside for small businesses under NAICS 541330 and 541310 (size standards $25.5 million and $12.5 million respectively).

The Forest Service anticipates awarding up to 14 contracts with a combined ceiling of $25 million over a five-year ordering period. Place of performance covers facilities throughout Montana, Idaho, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas. Required engineering disciplines include architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, landscape architecture, environmental engineering, surveying, interior design, historic preservation, and construction management and inspection services. Bridge-related services are excluded from the Structural Engineering discipline, as a separate IDIQ for roads and bridges design is anticipated.

Firms must demonstrate professional qualifications, specialized experience, and technical competence in the listed disciplines, capacity to perform across the broad geographic area within short timeframes, and past performance on similar government and private projects within the preceding three years. Submissions require the current Standard Form 330 (not exceeding 60 pages combined) and a separate qualification statement limited to 20 pages, with resumes for key personnel and up to five recent projects presented in Section F. Past performance documentation counts toward the 20-page limit and may be submitted in any legible format, including CPARS records. Text must be no less than 12 point. SAM registration is required prior to award, with annual updates needed for option year eligibility. Submit electronically to gilbert.chonje@usda.gov with reference "Region 1 and Region 2 AE Facilities Services" (no solicitation number issued at pre-solicitation stage). Government responses to contractor questions are available as of May 29, 2026.
