Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240BH21A0006

This Blanket Purchase Agreement was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Alaska Region to provide road construction, maintenance, and repair services across multiple locations in Alaska. The sole awardee, Coutlee & Sons Construction Tinas Lodging, was issued four task orders under this vehicle valued between $22,440 to $94,936 with periods of performance from November 2021 through October 2023. Services included under the task orders consist of road stabilization, slide and debris removal, culvert installation, bridge repair, and brush clearing. Two of the task orders were set aside for total small business. Places of performance encompass Hoonah, Sitka, and Salt Lake Bay, Alaska. Through these road infrastructure projects, the funding agency aims to support access and safety within Alaska's national forests.

This BPA and associated task orders demonstrate the Forest Service's use of this contract vehicle to efficiently obtain a range of road construction and maintenance services from a single contractor. The services directly support the agency's mandate to manage public lands and maintain infrastructure across its vast regions in Alaska. Use of small business set asides also indicates an objective to involve local economic interests where possible. In summary, the scope of work under this IDV aligns with typical road asset management programs overseen by the Forest Service at the regional level.
