2026 IUFRO Membership

The Forest Service is issuing this combined synopsis and solicitation under request for quotation 12444026Q0042 to secure 2026 membership for the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). The government anticipates awarding this as a sole-source requirement because only one organization offers this specific membership. Performance is scheduled to take place in Marxergasse, Austria. This acquisition is classified under NAICS code 813920 for Professional Organizations and PSC U005 for Education/Training- Tuition/Registration/Membership Fees.

This requirement is unrestricted and does not include a set-aside. While the agency intends to pursue a sole-source award, all responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration, though only authorized membership providers of IUFRO will be evaluated. Quotations must be submitted by the response deadline of March 27, 2026. Paul Foster serves as the primary point of contact for this solicitation.

The solicitation documentation includes four attachments: a combined synopsis, a statement of work, a schedule of items, and a justification and approval document. These materials provide the framework for the commercial services requested for the 2026 membership period. The small business size standard for the associated NAICS code is $23.5 million.
