Remote Field Operations Coordination and Logistics

The contract under the title Remote Field Operations Coordination and Logistics is a small business set-aside solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through its CSA Southwest 4 USDA-FS office, targeting comprehensive field operations support across dispersed recreation sites. It requires the contractor to manage the scheduling, dispatching, and logistical coordination of field crews, including route optimization, fuel procurement and tracking, and direct coordination with Forest Service representatives to ensure operational efficiency and compliance. The work involves dynamic, on-the-ground logistics tailored to remote and potentially challenging environments, demanding strong organizational capabilities, real-time communication, and adaptability to changing conditions in the field. Performance is expected to center in Payson, Arizona, with the NAICS code 541611 indicating the work falls under Management Consulting Services, specifically emphasizing operational and logistical planning rather than traditional construction or maintenance. The solicitation is set aside entirely for small businesses under SBA guidelines and has a response deadline of May 27, 2026, with the opportunity posted on April 28, 2026. As a subcontract, the prime contractor will likely be managing multiple tiers of service delivery, necessitating clear protocols, accountability structures, and integration with existing Forest Service systems. All activities must align with federal land management priorities while ensuring safety, cost-efficiency, and timely execution across widely spaced and often inaccessible recreation areas.
