Scope of work
The Forest Service seeks monthly and quarterly lumber market indices for seven western species groups, plus index-log methodology and a grade-recovery survey. The unrestricted procurement has a 12-month base period from award and four one-year options. The SOW lists the first monthly delivery as November 10, 2026. Submit separate technical/past-performance and fully burdened price volumes for all base and option items by November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time using the solicitation instructions. Review the current Q&A for data-quality, methodology and subcontracting requirements. AD-3001 applies at closeout or personnel departure, not with the proposal.

Source notes
- The front form retains a September 15, 2026 delivery date and a November 16, 2026 performance start; the pricing schedule prints November 1, 2026. The schedule expressly bases actual dates on award, and SOW section 3.3.1.1 defines a 12-month base from award. No fixed commencement date is inferred.
- The first monthly delivery remains November 10, 2026. The quarterly example also prints September 2017, while the same provision specifies a current 12-month base and four quarterly indices. The original text is retained; no substitute quarterly date or automatic extension is assumed.
- AD-3001 applies at closeout, termination or personnel departure. A generic official USDA form is publicly accessible as a corroborating reference; it is not a current SAM attachment or a required proposal submission form.
