Timber Stand Inventory Field Data Collection

The contract seeks qualified contractors to perform detailed forest inventory work across multiple West Virginia Wildlife Management Areas, requiring on-the-ground data collection for tree species identification, diameter at breast height, tree height, stand density, and overall forest health assessments. Each sample plot must be accurately mapped using GPS technology to ensure spatial precision and consistency across the surveyed landscapes. The work demands field expertise in forestry, species recognition, and survey instrumentation, with data collected to support long-term forest management and resource planning efforts by the state agency. All proposals must be submitted by August 4, 2026, at 5:30 PM Eastern Time under the NAICS code 021310, indicating this is a subcontract opportunity focused on silvicultural or forest management services. The place of performance is tied to the West Virginia Office of Agriculture and Forestry’s online portal, though specific locations within the state’s WMAs will be determined during execution. There is no set-aside classification specified, and while contact details are not provided, interested parties must access the official portal to obtain full solicitation materials and submit responses. The contract does not specify performance timelines beyond the submission deadline, implying fieldwork will commence after award.
