What this contract is for

This is a Sources Sought notice issued solely for market research. This is not a solicitation, request for quotes, or request for proposals. No contract will be awarded from this announcement. The purpose of this notice is to determine the availability and capability of small business concerns that can perform the work described below. The Government anticipates this requirement will be set aside for small business; the Government is specifically seeking to determine whether a specific socioeconomic set-aside category (e.g., Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), HUBZone, or 8(a)) is appropriate. Responses are requested only from small business concerns; large businesses need not respond. The Elephant Butte Field Division requires species-specific vegetation management at Caballo Reservoir to remove infestations of tornillo (mesquite) and salt cedar (tamarisk) across four designated treatment parcels, totaling approximately 1,367 acres. Work will also include GIS-supported treatment boundary mapping and documentation, performed in accordance with applicable environmental compliance requirements, including mitigation measures identified in the project's NEPA documentation. This effort supports reservoir operations, habitat restoration, and reduction of phreatophyte-driven water loss along the Rio Grande. See attached Sources Sought Notice for Additional Information.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
