The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Upper Colorado Regional Office is conducting market research to assess the capability of small businesses to perform vegetation management at Caballo Reservoir under the Elephant Butte Field Division. The work involves removing invasive species—tornillo (mesquite) and salt cedar (tamarisk)—across approximately 1,367 acres across four designated treatment areas. The effort is critical to supporting reservoir operations, restoring native habitats, and reducing water loss caused by phreatophytes along the Rio Grande. All work must align with environmental compliance requirements, including mitigation measures outlined in the project’s NEPA documentation, and will include GIS-supported mapping and documentation of treatment boundaries. This is not a solicitation for bids or proposals; no contract will result from this notice. The Government is evaluating whether to set aside the future procurement for small businesses, and responses are sought exclusively from small business concerns, with no involvement from large businesses. The North American Industry Classification System code for this effort is 115310, and the anticipated set-aside is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5. Responses are due by July 21, 2026, and must be submitted through the SAM.gov portal referenced in the notice. The point of contact for questions is Megan Swift of the Upper Colorado Regional Office, reachable by phone or email. The office is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the work will be performed at Caballo Reservoir, though exact geographic details are not specified in the notice. This sources sought notice aims to inform the Government’s decision on the appropriate socioeconomic set-aside category for the future acquisition, such as Small Disadvantaged Business, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, or 8(a), based on the market response and availability of qualified small business concerns.
