Mechanical Treatments of Prescribed Burn Units and Fuel Breaks
BSA seeks quotations for mechanical forestry treatments—thinning and mulching trees/snags with an excavator-mounted mulcher, distributing treated material, and topping selected trees for wildlife habitat—on prescribed burn units and fuel breaks at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, excluding wetlands and their 100-foot buffers. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 115310, with a $34 million small-business size standard. BSA anticipates fixed unit prices per acre for a base period plus four one-year options, priced at an estimated 70 acres per period with actual acreage varying; the base period ends March 1, 2027, options may extend through March 1, 2031, and field treatments are restricted to November 1–March 1. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at BNL’s Science and User Support Center, with RSVP by November 10, 2026, and questions due November 19, 2026, at noon. Award will go to the responsible, eligible small business submitting the lowest total evaluated price whose quotation passes technical and qualification criteria.
