White Mountain NF Environmental Site Assessment

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service R9-Eastern Region is seeking to procure Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) services for seven real property parcels located in New Hampshire and Maine that are being acquired for the White Mountain National Forest. The contractor must conduct comprehensive environmental site assessments in accordance with ASTM Designation E-1527-21 standards, which includes database and record reviews, interviews with property-familiar individuals, and site reconnaissance to identify any recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on the properties. The scope of work requires preparing individual electronic PDF reports for each of the seven parcels, with specific delivery dates ranging from October 30, 2025 to January 30, 2026. The solicitation has been amended twice, with Amendment 0002 increasing the number of required reports from five to seven and establishing a final response deadline of September 1, 2025 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. While the specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the summary, contractors must demonstrate past performance and experience as outlined in Attachment 17.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 541620 for Environmental Consulting Services. The seven parcels are owned by various entities including the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, White Pine LLC, John Durocher, Mount Washington Railway Company, and The Conservation Fund, indicating a diverse portfolio of properties requiring assessment. No specific contract value or budget range is provided in the available documentation, though contractors are expected to incorporate all travel costs into their overall proposed pricing. The primary place of performance is listed as Campton, New Hampshire, though the actual properties to be assessed are distributed across New Hampshire and Maine. The solicitation number 12444325Q0053 indicates this is a formal federal procurement process with multiple supporting attachments including boundary plans, legal maps, and detailed parcel documentation for each of the seven properties under consideration.
