About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service Intermountain Region is soliciting contractors to modernize the control systems for two cone drying kilns at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest. The project involves replacing antiquated control and sensor systems with updated, low-maintenance technology that integrates with existing kiln infrastructure used for processing conifer seeds. Contractors must assess current systems, design and procure new control and monitoring equipment, perform installation and testing, and provide training to nursery technicians on operating the modernized systems. The solicitation requires maintaining operational continuity by keeping one kiln functional throughout the project period and includes a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Quotes are due September 29, 2025 at 12:00 noon Pacific Time, with the performance period scheduled from October 1, 2025 to December 1, 2025.
Amendment 0002 removed the original 100% small business set-aside designation due to the inability to secure an award under the initial terms, opening the competition to all eligible contractors regardless of size. The contract falls under NAICS code 333994 (Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees for small business classification purposes. The project requires rebuilding control systems for exactly two cone kilns, with work to be performed at the nursery facility located in Dalton Gardens, Idaho. No incumbent contractors or specific budget ranges were disclosed in the solicitation materials, though the specialized nature of kiln control systems and the requirement for custom integration with existing equipment suggests this is a technically complex procurement. The compressed timeline of approximately two months from award to completion indicates the urgency of replacing these critical seed processing systems before peak operational periods.
