The Department of Agriculture (USDA‑FS) is issuing RFQ 12444726Q0016 for a firm‑fixed‑price, total‑small‑business set‑aside contract to perform vegetation‑reduction services (mulching, grinding, masticating, and chipping) on the Conecuh National Forest in Andalusia, Alabama. Offerors must submit pricing for every item listed in Attachment 1 and provide detailed equipment information (age, type, and quantity) as the primary technical evaluation factor, followed by past‑performance and price. Technical capability and past performance together outweigh price, but price will become decisive if non‑price differences are minimal. The award will be made to the highest technically rated offeror whose price is fair and reasonable and whose past performance is acceptable or neutral; trade‑offs are not permitted. A site visit is optional but may be requested; a scheduled visit will occur on 22 April 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EST at Blue Lake Quick Stop, 9323 AL‑137, Andalusia, AL. Offerors must comply with the attached Statement of Work, map, wage determination (Wage Determination 2002‑0147), and the DEI clause deviation (52.222‑90). All solicitation provisions incorporated by reference are available from the Contracting Officer, and any bilateral modification must be returned within 120 days or will be deemed unilateral. Questions should be directed to Contract Specialist Shannon Wrobel (shannon.wrobel@usda.gov).
