About this opportunity
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting bids for a precommercial thinning contract in the Northeast Region, specifically targeting 811 total treatment acres across 14 separate units in Okanogan County. The solicitation requires contractors to perform silvicultural land management services using specific thinning methods, including simple spacing thinning with precise tree selection, cutting, and spacing requirements. Bidders must submit complete bid packets by 10:00 AM PST on June 25, 2025, and must possess current Washington State and U.S. Department of Labor Farm Labor Contractors Licenses. Contractors are required to provide a minimum crew of 10 workers, with a maximum of 20, and must perform the work between July 14th and October 31st, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, qualifications, references, and cost, with a maximum cost threshold of $250 per acre. Contractors must also carry specified insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, employer's liability, and business auto policies.
The procurement encourages participation from small businesses, veteran-owned businesses, and minority-owned businesses, offering preference points for these diverse business categories. The contract appears to be funded by state dollars and does not indicate the presence of incumbent vendors. Bidders will be assessed not only on technical capabilities but also on worker's rights and business diversity considerations. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the total contract value can be estimated by multiplying the maximum per-acre rate ($250) by the total treatment acres (811), which suggests a potential contract value around $202,750. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with labor regulations, maintain appropriate licensing, and meet detailed technical specifications for forest management services. The solicitation represents an opportunity for qualified forestry management firms to engage in a state-sponsored land management project in Okanogan County.
