Cowboy Hat Stewardship IRSC - Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit
Solicitation # 12363N27Q4000
The USDA Forest Service is seeking capability statements from qualified small businesses for the Cowboy Hat Stewardship Integrated Resource Service Contract within the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The project focuses on hazardous fuel reduction and forest restoration in areas affected by the Caldor Fire, specifically across a 545 acre contract area. The required logging mechanism is Cut-to-Length harvesting, which involves cutting and processing trees at the stump and forwarding material to landings. The scope of work includes cutting and forwarding biomass across 205 acres, mechanical mastication of dead and down material, removing approximately 2,603 tons of biomass and cull logs to off-forest sites, and constructing and decommissioning 1.4 miles of temporary roads. Optional tasks include hand thinning and hand fuel treatment across 177 acres. Performance is anticipated to begin in early summer 2027, with a strict completion deadline of September 15, 2027, due to grant funding expiration. The contract requires adherence to strict environmental and safety standards, including California Public Resources Code fire precautionary measures and specific erosion control protocols such as scarification and tillage. Compliance will be verified by the Forest Service through visual inspections and plot sampling, where a 90 percent acceptance rate per treatment unit is required. Interested vendors must submit capability statements detailing their experience with Cut-to-Length systems and fuel reduction by November 2, 2026, and are invited to a site visit on November 3, 2026.
