Forest Products Interests and Contract Preferences

The U.S. Forest Service is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market insights from timber purchasers and forest‑related businesses operating in or near Colorado. The RFI seeks detailed input on the types of forest products of interest, desired quantities, preferred contract lengths and structures, interest in service contracts versus traditional timber sales, and operational considerations such as geographic preferences and seasonal constraints. Responses will help the Forest Service shape future timber offerings, contract options, and stewardship activities across multiple National Forests in Colorado. • Identify product types (sawtimber, pulpwood, biomass, specialty products) and specifications. • Provide annual volume estimates, minimum/maximum thresholds, and flexibility. • Indicate contract preferences (short‑term, multi‑year, service‑oriented) and associated operational plans. • Offer feedback on how to improve market access and contract flexibility.
