Cadastral Surveys on the White Mountain National Foreset

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with York Land Services, LLC for cadastral surveying services in the White Mountain National Forest, spanning New Hampshire and Maine. The contract is planned as a firm fixed price agreement covering one base year with four additional option years, subject to the government's discretion. The contract includes a minimum guarantee of $5,000 over its term and a maximum ceiling of $500,000 across the five years. This decision follows market research that identified York Land Services as the only certified HUBZone business within the area offering services under NAICS 541370, which covers Surveying and Mapping Services, aligning with the Small Business Competitive Demonstration Program's priorities. The contract opportunity, associated with solicitation number AG-24H8-S-09-0192, is managed by the Allegheny National Forest office in Warren, Pennsylvania, with performance to be conducted in Laconia, New Hampshire. The Forest Service is emphasizing compliance with FAR regulatory requirements by prioritizing businesses under relevant small business programs before proceeding with sole source negotiations. The notice clarifies that it is not a request for competitive proposals, and any decisions not to compete will be at the government's sole discretion. Key contacts for this procurement include Melissa A Conn and Contract Officer Teresa L Corse.
