8/3/2026- Replaces word versions of Attachements C04c_2a, C04d_3a and C04e_4a (Appendicies A-C) with PDFs. No other corrections.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 12.  This announcement constitutes the only solicitation.  Proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

Solicitation number 12363N26R4014 is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Bitterroot Front G-Z Long Term Integrated Resource Service Contract. The Bitterroot Front Project area spans roughly 145,000 acres across the Stevensville and Darby Ranger Districts, where dense, overstocked mixed‑conifer stands and widespread tree mortality have increased susceptibility to insect outbreaks and extreme wildfire behavior. Following a decade of severe fires, the project aims to reduce wildfire risk to nearby communities and restore forest health through treatments such as thinning, harvesting, mechanical fuel reduction, and prescribed burning. These efforts focus on improving stand vigor, promoting fire‑adapted species, reducing hazardous fuels, and enhancing safety and effectiveness for wildfire responders. A secondary objective of the long‑term contract is to provide a consistent timber supply for local forest products industries, while contractors complete tasks including unit layout, timber cruising, road work, and timber removal as part of a broader strategy to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration.

This acquisition  is set-aside for small business concerns.  The applicable North American Industry Classification Standard Code is 113310  and the small business size standard is 500 Employees  This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside.  All responsible sources may submit a quotation which will be considered by the agency.

Proposals are to be submitted via email to Mark Phillipp at mark.phillipp@usda.gov and Matt Daigle at matthew.daigle@usda.gov.
