Blanket Purchase Agreement 12363N22A4023

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region awarded a blanket purchase agreement and subsequent task orders to Markit Forestry Management LLC to provide integrated resource stewardship and restoration services. The blanket purchase agreement, valued at up to $50 million over 10 years with options to extend up to 20 years, enables task orders to be issued for services across several national forests in Colorado and the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota. Task orders awarded to date include stewardship services in Conifer, Colorado valued at $951,221.81; services in Colorado Springs, Colorado valued at $3,378,296.44; and land management services in Fort Collins, Colorado valued at $843,678. Services will involve tasks such as cut and removal of timber and biomass, mastication, hand cutting and piling, and road maintenance to support the agency's land management goals. The purpose is to achieve stewardship objectives while meeting local community needs, as envisioned under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act.

The original solicitation sought proposals for the blanket purchase agreement to provide integrated resource and restoration services across the identified forests. Evaluations were to consider technical qualifications, past performance, and pricing, with awards made to support projects on a forest-by-forest basis. The resulting blanket purchase agreement and task orders enable the agency to procure specialized services valued in total at over $4 million to support stewardship and land management operations in Colorado and South Dakota through 2027.
