The Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region to Summitt Forests, Inc. on October 16, 2020. The multiple award BPA has a potential value of $7.5 million and period of performance through October 16, 2025. It was established under unusual and compelling urgency authority in response to catastrophic fires in Oregon during 2020 to facilitate the removal of hazard and danger trees across impacted areas through task order awards to the prime contractor.
The originating solicitation sought to establish a blanket purchase agreement to enable rapid procurement of tree removal services by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service within Oregon. Issued as a Special Notice on October 7, 2020 due to the emergency circumstances, the solicitation aimed to procure hazard tree felling and piling services to address risks posed by trees damaged or weakened during the 2020 wildfires. The BPA and subsequent task orders aim to expedite recovery efforts and protect public safety by enlisting a pre-qualified contractor to swiftly remove danger trees as needs are identified.
