Sudden Oak Death Disease Treatment (SOD)

This notice was canceled, but is active again.  The solicitation will be issued as a small business set-aside.

The U.S. Forest Service will solicit a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for land treatment services to treat Sudden Oak Death (SOD) sites that occur on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Work includes the cutting of tanoak trees and all brush that is within a designated Pest Management boundary, and follow-up actions to slow or eradicate the disease through burning of vegetation and/or herbicide treatments.

This solicitation will result in a firm-fixed-price requirements type contract. The estimated quantity stated in the schedule will reflect the approximate need the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest anticipates during the life of the contract. The estimated quantity is not a representation that the estimated quantity will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting requirements will be stable or normal. When work is needed, the Government will issue task orders identifying the period of performance and actual quantities of services required.

The solicitation is expected to be posted on 12 August 2019, and will likely close on 12 September 2019.
