Seedling Transportation and Logistics

This contract involves the transportation and logistics of live seedlings from two specific storage locations—the Detroit Ranger Station Tree Cooler and the ODF Cooler in Mehama, Oregon—to various remote planting sites. The contractor is required to ensure that the seedlings are handled with temperature control throughout the transport process to maintain their viability and health. Timely delivery to remote locations is emphasized, indicating a need for careful planning and coordination given the perishable nature of the cargo. The contract is designated as a subcontract and is set aside entirely for small businesses under the SBA total small business set-aside program in accordance with FAR 19.5. It falls under the NAICS code 484220, which covers specialized freight trucking. The overseeing agency is the Willamette National Forest, under the Department of Agriculture. Although specific performance location details besides Detroit and Mehama are limited, the focus is on effective logistical management within this regional scope to support reforestation or related environmental restoration efforts.
