Forest2Market - SilvaStat 360 - Base + 4 option years
AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF.FOREST SERVICE.USDA FOREST SERVICE · Response deadline: Thu, 22 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Forest Service is seeking a subscription to Forest2Market's SilvaStat 360 platform—a market analytics and timber pricing data service used in forest products industry analysis. SilvaStat 360 typically provides stumpage price data, timber sale tracking, and regional wood market intelligence that supports federal land management decisions, timber sale planning, and economic analysis of forest resources.
The contract structure includes a base period plus four option years, indicating a multi-year subscription arrangement. Forest2Market is a well-established data analytics firm specializing in forest products supply chain intelligence; the specific platform name in the solicitation title suggests this is a brand-name or sole-source acquisition, though the notice type (Combined Synopsis/Solicitation) requires competitive response under small business rules.

Who can bid
This opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 513210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services). To qualify, your business must:
- Meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for NAICS 513210 (currently $47.5 million in average annual receipts over three years)
- Be registered in SAM.gov with active status
- Have the NAICS code in your SAM profile
Firms already providing similar forestry data analytics or with experience in subscription-based data services may have relevant capabilities. If you do not offer SilvaStat 360 specifically, review whether the solicitation permits equivalent services or requires the named platform—see the solicitation for brand-name justification or compatibility requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify technical eligibility immediately. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices often have compressed timelines. Confirm whether this is a sole-source justification with limited competition or requires full technical proposal.
Assess data licensing structure. Subscription services require clarity on: user seat allocations, geographic coverage areas, data update frequency, API or integration capabilities, and historical data access terms. See the solicitation for specific Forest Service usage requirements.
Pricing strategy for option years. Structure your base year and four option year pricing with clear escalation terms. Federal option years are exercised unilaterally; ensure your out-year pricing is locked in or governed by stated ceilings.
Demonstrate platform access. If you are Forest2Market or an authorized reseller, document your distribution agreement. If proposing alternatives, see the solicitation for whether brand-name-or-equal justification is permitted.
Past performance alignment. Highlight similar data subscription services to federal land management agencies, state forestry departments, or private timber investment organizations.
Albuquerque-based delivery considerations. While data services are cloud-delivered, the place of performance designation may affect any required on-site training, account management, or subcontracting with local entities.
