This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR 12 . This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

This project follows the G to Z Integrated Resource Stewardship Contract (IRSC) model which is a unique approach that takes projects from signed NEPA decision and reintroduction of fire on the landscape. The Corral G-Z Integrated Resource Service Contract directly supports Executive Order 14225, the Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production, Secretary Rollins Memorandum 1078-006 and follows the direction put forth by Acting Associate Chief Chris French in producing timber volume, reducing hazardous fuels, providing wood fiber to struggling industries and supporting local economies surrounding the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The objectives of this project are 1) to restore forest health and vigor by reverting stand density and species composition to their historical range of variability, while also 2) mitigating the threat of catastrophic wildfire by reducing hazardous fuels. These objectives will be accomplished through the following: Professional Forestry: Completion of harvest layout, timber marking, timber volume determination and acre determination of harvest unit boundaries, and DxP prescription monitoring. Logging and Fuels Reduction: Cut and remove an estimated 191,379 tons of commercial timber on approximately 7,000 acres, and fuels reduction on approximately 17,000 acres. Removal will include ground-based logging systems utilizing whole tree yarding, cutting, skidding and decking sub-merchantable trees in plantations, fuel breaks and general stands. Cut and pile encroaching conifers in meadow areas and release cuts in whitebark pine stands. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procuremen
