Forest Products Lab Campus Tree Care

The USDA is issuing a single‑award, total small‑business set‑aside RFQ (Solicitation No. 12444526Q0052, NAICS 561730) to remove overgrown, dead, and hazardous branches from a variety of tree species (locust, maple, oak, ash, pine, and others) across the FPL campus. Offerors must submit pricing for every line item listed in the Schedule of Items (including specific CLIN quantities for each tree type and removal task) and provide a mandatory site‑visit report, a detailed technical approach demonstrating compliance with the Statement of Work, and evidence of the ability to meet the schedule. Respondents must also include the required experience questionnaire, equipment list, licensing documentation, and wage‑determination requests (if applicable). All quotations will be evaluated under FAR 12.203/12.204 for best value: the highest technically advantageous offer will be identified first, then its price will be assessed for fairness and reasonableness, with past performance required to be acceptable or neutral. The award is not limited to the lowest price, and trade‑offs will not be conducted. Key compliance points include: pricing every item, completing the mandatory site visit, providing a clear explanation of any SOW requirement the offeror cannot fulfill, meeting small‑business eligibility (size standard $9.5 M), and satisfying qualification requirements such as proper licensing and wage‑determination incorporation. The evaluation will consider technical merit, price reasonableness, and past performance, and the contract will be awarded to the offeror that presents the best overall value to the Government.
