The USDA Forest Service Southern Region (Region 8) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to Robert Thomas, a small business sole proprietorship based in Blairsville, Georgia. The $1,000,000 BPA, originally awarded in October 2021, is for road maintenance services within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. Under this multiple-award BPA, the Forest Service has issued several fixed-price call orders to Robert Thomas for tasks such as gravel placement, culvert work, right-of-way clearing, mowing, and disaster road repairs, primarily on the Blue Ridge Ranger District. The most recent call orders range in value from $22,164 to $90,897 and have set completion dates between June 2023 and September 2024. This BPA contract supports the Forest Service's critical infrastructure maintenance and public access programs across the national forests in the southeastern United States. The original solicitation was a sources sought notice issued by the USDA Forest Service in June 2021 to assess industry capability for providing road maintenance services on the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests in Georgia. The agency sought information on vendor qualifications, technical specifications, and best practices to inform the procurement of these essential services, which are vital to supporting the Forest Service's mission and public safety. The contract has both set-aside and unrestricted task orders, demonstrating the government's commitment to leveraging small business capabilities in this sector.
