Red Tree Vole Line Transect Survey Services

The US Forest Service will require line transect survey services for Red Tree Voles (RTV). Data may be collected on proposed project areas in the Willamette, Siuslaw, Mt Hood, Umpqua, and Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and Tillamook and Mary's Peak Field Offices of the Northwest Oregon BLM District. The Forest Service will solicit a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for line transect survey services. Established BPAs will describe the ordering procedures of new requirements, and identify terms and conditions that will be incorporated into awarded task orders. The Government will compete most requirements among all companies awarded a BPA, and issue an awarded task order to the contractor that represents the best value. The solicitation is expected to be posted on 4 December 2018, and will likely close on 11 January 2019. Quoters must ensure registration in the System for Award Management database at https://www.sam.gov prior to any contract award.
