CWPP Pittsylvania

The Virginia Department of Forestry is seeking a subject matter expert to develop a comprehensive Wildfire Community Protection Plan (CWPP) for Pittsylvania County. This procurement opportunity requires an expert to produce a detailed wildfire risk assessment that includes a general overview of wildfire potential and threats specific to the county. The primary deliverables will encompass a comprehensive plan with detailed information on identified communities, specific recommendations for reducing wildfire threats, and GIS-based spatial information and supporting maps. The expert must possess significant knowledge in wildfire risk assessment, community protection strategies, and geospatial mapping techniques. The solicitation, identified by Contract ID 67c9a4c2d37cdfc723078062, was posted on March 6, 2025, with proposals due by March 12, 2025. The ultimate goal of this project is to support Virginia's comprehensive wildfire hazard mitigation program, specifically targeting higher-risk woodland home communities.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided document, the procurement appears to be open to qualified subject matter experts with demonstrated expertise in wildfire risk assessment and community protection planning. The contract is focused on Pittsylvania County, though the jurisdiction of Patrick County is also mentioned in the documentation. The plan will serve as a critical component of Virginia's broader wildfire mitigation infrastructure, suggesting potential for future similar contracts across the state. Although no specific budget range is indicated, the complexity of developing a comprehensive CWPP with detailed GIS mapping and community-specific threat assessments implies a substantial professional services contract. Interested vendors should carefully review the full solicitation requirements and ensure they can provide the technical expertise and geospatial analysis capabilities necessary to meet the Virginia Department of Forestry's comprehensive wildfire protection planning needs.
