Summary

The USDA Forest Service intends to award a sole source contract for a yearly subscription to timber sales reporting services provided by RISI Fastmarkets. This subscription is crucial for managing the Forest Service Timber Management program, particularly for timber sale programs in Regions 6, 10, and 1, which rely on specific price indices and market data that are only available through this service. The subscription includes broad market-related weekly publications, an online information dashboard, and tailored market forecasts supported by an economist. The Forest Service has maintained this subscription for several years, finding it essential for conducting timber valuation appraisals required by law. This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can provide similar subscription services and have the capability to meet the specific data needs of the Forest Service.
