About this opportunity

The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) is requesting proposals for consulting services to evaluate, design, and initiate development of an Improved Forest Management forest carbon project on approximately 14,742 acres of Tribal forestlands across five southwestern Oregon counties, with proposals due July 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST. Indian Preference applies to federally recognized Indian tribes and Indian-owned enterprises with at least 51 percent Indian ownership, and a critical qualification requirement mandates that proposers demonstrate direct experience assisting federally recognized Tribes with the development, registration, or listing of carbon offset projects under the Washington Cap-and-Invest Program — proposals lacking this capability are rejected as non-responsive.

The scope encompasses three primary tasks: conducting a technical and financial feasibility assessment of the IFM carbon project; developing a carbon project and forest inventory framework meeting registry requirements; and providing initial project development support including inventory collection oversight and carbon quantification. Deliverables include feasibility assessments, carbon credit estimates, financial analyses, project designs with boundary mapping, forest inventory designs, inventory quality assurance documentation, and updated financial projections. The contract does not include full project development, registry listing, validation, verification, or carbon credit issuance.

Preferred qualifications include previous work with federally recognized Tribes, knowledge of Tribal Forest Management Plans and the Indian Trust Asset Reform Act (ITARA), and demonstrated success issuing improved forest management credits under Washington's Climate Commitment Act. The project scope is expected to be completed within approximately six months, subject to field conditions and data availability, with an anticipated project start date of August 1, 2026.

Proposals are scored on a 100-point basis: Experience & Qualifications (20 points), Methodology & Understanding (20 points), Cost Competitiveness (30 points), Project Timeline (20 points), and Indian Preference (10 points). CTCLUSI will issue notice of intent to award by July 24, 2026. Questions are due July 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST. Proposals must be submitted via email as a single not-to-exceed cost proposal and remain valid for 90 days from the due date.
