Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240BJ21A0003

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Alaska Region awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Backcountry Builders LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business, to provide facilities maintenance and construction repair services for remote Alaska facilities through December 2031. Task orders issued under this BPA include $44,120 to repair structural damage at a Girdwood bunkhouse, $323,672 to replace recreation and minerals closure gates, and $67,642 to remove and replace the roof at the Kenai Lake Work Center. These contracts aim to fulfill the Forest Service's needs for construction and maintenance services at its Alaska facilities, with some task orders set aside for total small businesses. As a prime contractor, Backcountry Builders specializes in repairing and maintaining structures such as bunkhouses, cabins, trails, roads, and gates across remote locations in Alaska.

Based on the details provided, the contracted work falls under the broader category of Alaska facilities maintenance and construction repair services, including roof and structural repairs, gate replacements, and decommissioning/renovation of Forest Service buildings and infrastructure. The long-term BPA vehicle allows the Forest Service to efficiently procure these services on an as-needed basis through 2031, while providing Backcountry Builders, a certified small disadvantaged and women-owned business, the opportunity to consistently support the agency's facility maintenance needs in Alaska.
