This solicitation, numbered 12444726Q0018, is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial services issued under FAR Part 12 by the USDA Forest Service, specifically the Csa East 8 Usda-Fs office, to control the wild hog population across the Department of Energy’s 198,000-acre Savannah River Site in New Ellenton, South Carolina. The work involves capturing and humanely dispatching wild hogs, defined as any wild-living Sus scrofa including feral hogs and hybrids, primarily through the use of box, corral, and smart traps, with preference given to advanced techniques like Pig Briggs and whole sounder removal. Leg hold traps and snares are strictly prohibited. All operations must occur during daylight hours, with traps placed out of sight from personnel and roads unless approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and all dispatched hogs must be disposed of away from infrastructure and public view. Use of trained dogs is permitted but optional, and dog packs are banned from June 15 through September 15. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 114210 with a size standard of $8.5 million, and only responsible small business concerns may respond. The contract structure is planned as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a five-year period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, including a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. Individual task orders will be issued under the BPA with specified schedules and completion dates, and existing tasks may continue up to 12 months after BPA expiration without new work being added. Pricing is structured under CLIN 0001 for hog removal at a per-hog rate, with no specified quantity or total value. Award will be made to the three offerors providing the best overall value based on evaluation of technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical capability requiring a detailed explanation of methods—not a simple statement—and past performance limited to relevant feral hog control efforts within the last three years. Proposals must be submitted electronically by July 14, 2026, to the designated email, on company letterhead, including SAM registration details, authorized negotiators, and must adhere to a 90-day firm-price commitment. All contractors must comply with stringent site access
