About this opportunity
The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a Request for Qualifications and Quotes (RFQQ) for a forest carbon offset project feasibility analysis affecting five counties: Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima. The procurement seeks qualified firms to assess the potential carbon offset credit generation from structurally complex forest on DNR-managed lands and evaluate the financial viability of carbon sequestration activities under both voluntary and regulatory carbon market protocols. Key deliverables include a comprehensive feasibility report that addresses technical and financial aspects of carbon offset project development, revenue implications analysis, and an assessment of project maintenance costs across different market frameworks. Required qualifications include demonstrated expertise in forest carbon assessment, carbon market analysis, and feasibility studies. The evaluation process will assess proposals based on qualification and pricing criteria, with emphasis on the firm's ability to deliver performance-based results. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 26, 2026. Additional details regarding response deadlines for questions, site visit requirements, bidders' conferences, and contract award timelines are contained within the formal RFQQ document.
The RFQQ documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or existing infrastructure integration needs. Similarly, the procurement notice does not disclose a specific award value or budget range for the contract. Firms interested in responding should consult the complete RFQQ document (26_15_RFQQ_Forest Carbon Project.pdf) for detailed submission instructions, evaluation methodologies, contract terms, renewal provisions, and pricing structures. The funding for this analysis originates from DNR's budget allocation for natural resource management and sustainability initiatives, indicating alignment with the state's environmental and carbon sequestration priorities.
