The Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is selling Government-owned pine and hardwood timber at Wright Patman Lake, Texas, in a sealed-bid lump sum sale with 3 items. Bidders buy and remove the timber, so this is a sale, not a purchase of services. Bids are opened publicly on 18 November 2026.
Watch out for
- Large bid deposits. You must put up cash deposits of up to $24,000 per item, which ties up money for a small business.
$24,000.00 for Item 1 (Clear Springs ATV 1) $12,000.00 for Item 2 (Thompson Creek West) $10,000.00 for Item 3 (Milam Creek South)
- In-person sealed bid opening. Bids are received until the time set and opened publicly in Texarkana, so late delivery means disqualification and you may need to deliver in person.
Sealed bid subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Invitation for Bids
- Site inspection encouraged. You are urged to inspect the timber areas first, which takes travel and notice to the forester.
Inspection of lump sum contract areas is invited and encouraged
