2025 Northeast Region State Parks Firewood

Vermont State Parks is seeking to establish a contract with one or more vendors to supply firewood for the 2025 operating season, aiming to enhance the camping experience while promoting environmental safety. The program's primary objectives are to offer a dependable and affordable source of firewood that discourages visitors from cutting park trees or transporting potentially invasive species, and to ensure that the firewood provided burns efficiently and safely for cooking and gathering purposes. The contract, with a value ranging from $50,000 to $200,000, is managed by the Vermont Department of Forests and Parks & Recreation, which emphasizes quality and safety in its firewood offerings. The solicitation, posted on November 20, 2024, with a response deadline of January 17, 2025, is open to vendors under the NAICS code 441110, which pertains to timber and firewood sales. Interested vendors can contact Tracy Zayac via email or phone for further details and can access the full solicitation through the Vermont Business Registry. This initiative aligns with Vermont's broader environmental and recreational goals by providing a controlled, sustainable source of firewood that enhances visitor safety and experience while protecting the park's natural resources.
