Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240LP21A0003

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Mcdirt Excavation, Inc. to provide dozer services in support of land management programs across South Dakota and Wyoming. The initial solicitation sought quotes for blanket purchase agreements to secure hazardous fuels reduction and other resource management work totaling less than $9 million across several counties. The prime contractor was awarded task orders against the agreement to rehabilitate piles and dispose of materials at various sites, with values ranging from $7,389 to $20,043 and periods of performance from February 2021 through November 2022. Services included dozing, pushing, and reshaping excavated materials to aid pile remediation and maintenance activities in areas such as Bearlodge, Rattlesnake, and Rapid City. No set-aside provisions were applied under the blanket purchase agreement or subsequent task orders placed.

The Forest Service aims to utilize these contracted dozer services to support its ongoing responsibilities in managing ash, rehabilitating disturbed lands, and achieving fuels reduction goals across the Rocky Mountain region. The blanket purchase agreement mechanism streamlines the procurement of these critical services for pile disposal, reshaping, and site rehabilitation projects emerging over the two-year period of performance under the multiple task orders awarded.
