Timber Presale Planning and Environmental Assessment Support

The contract seeks technical support for timber presale activities focused on environmental screening, road access assessments, and preliminary harvest planning documentation, all in support of forest management preparations. The work is intended to ensure compliance with environmental standards and logistical feasibility prior to timber sales, with deliverables centered on detailed documentation that informs decision-making and facilitates smooth transition into active harvest phases. The requirement is specifically targeted toward small businesses under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, as defined by SBA regulations under NAICS code 541620, indicating a need for specialized environmental and forestry planning services delivered by qualified small business contractors. Performance is required in Tonasket, Washington, with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, and the opportunity is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through its Csa Northwest 1 unit. The work does not involve execution of actual timber harvesting but rather the critical preparatory phase that ensures environmental, legal, and operational readiness for upcoming sales. Contractors must possess expertise in forestry planning, environmental assessment protocols, and transportation infrastructure evaluation to meet the technical demands of the scope. This subcontract is not open to large businesses and requires full compliance with small business eligibility criteria to be considered for award.
