Conduct rare plant, invasive plant, and cultural plant surveys within the Kitchie Two Rivers Project Area

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a total‑small‑business set‑aside (Solicitation No. 12443926Q0027) for the Kitchie Two Rivers Plant Survey in the Ottawa National Forest. The awardee shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies, and incidentals required to conduct plant surveys as defined in the Statement of Work and accompanying maps, which detail stand locations, sizes, forest types, and known invasive species. Offerors must submit a stand‑alone Technical Approach (no page limit) describing their capabilities and addressing each scope they wish to support, a pricing list with general hourly rates for each scope (evaluation only), a completed Locations/Scopes spreadsheet, and signed SF‑30s for Amendment 6 and Amendments 1‑5. All submissions must include a signed cover page with box 17A completed and adhere to the Service Contract Act wage determination (No. 2015‑4871) and conformance requirements. Evaluation will focus first on the qualifications and experience of the proposed crew (especially knowledge of Upper Midwest flora, the genus Botrychium, and experience locating rare plant populations), then on the contractor’s capacity to meet the project schedule, and finally on past performance regarding cost control, quality, and delivery. Proposals may be qualified to limit the minimum or maximum number of bid items accepted, or submitted on an “all‑or‑none” basis. All offers must be from total small‑business concerns and comply with the listed FAR and agency clauses. Questions may be directed to the LMIR team at sm.fs.lmirbpa@usda.gov.
