TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES

The USDA Forest Service for the National Forests in Florida plans to award a sole source contract to David Coleman of Crawfordville, FL, for temporary, part-time technical support services at the Forest Supervisor's office in Tallahassee, Leon County. This contract, with a value under $25,000, is designed to provide expert assistance on ongoing litigation related to title claims against the Federal Government, offer contract inspection services for active land surveying projects, and support the training and orientation of a new Forest Land Surveyor to ensure seamless program continuity. Mr. Coleman, a recently retired Forest Land Surveyor, brings deep knowledge of the Forest Service’s regulations, policies, procedures, and internal systems, as well as familiarity with relevant contracts and key contacts, making him uniquely qualified to support these critical program operations. The contract opportunity is categorized under the NAICS code 541990 and is set aside exclusively for small businesses. Services will be performed at the Forest Supervisor’s office in Tallahassee, Florida. The USDA has designated specific points of contact for this procurement, including Brian J Wharton as Contract Specialist and Lawanda M Henry as Procurement Assistant, to facilitate communication. This announcement serves primarily to inform interested parties of the intended sole source award and the scope of services required to maintain expert technical support within the Forest Service’s operations in Florida.
