Gold Basin Geotechnical Analysis

The contract pertains to the Gold Basin Geotechnical Analysis project, initially posted as a presolicitation under solicitation number AG-05M6-S-14-0048 on February 23, 2015. It was intended to be awarded through the Small Business Administration's Total Small Business Set-Aside program, specifically under NAICS code 541380, which relates to engineering services. The project was to be performed in Darrington, Washington, with oversight from the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest office located in Everett, Washington. The contract was managed by the Department of Agriculture. However, this solicitation was cancelled because it was issued under the Region 6 Professional Forestry Services Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract, which had already been publicly announced on the Federal Business Opportunities website. This prior announcement satisfied the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements for advertisement, obviating the need for a separate solicitation. The Contracting Officer responsible for this effort was Brian A. Johnson, who could be contacted via email or phone at the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest office.
