The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Southern Region has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Lucas B. Thomas, a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as Hot Springs Trading Post Division, to provide janitorial and lawn/grounds maintenance services for the Appalachian Ranger District's Rocky Bluff and Harmon Den recreation sites in Mars Hill, North Carolina. The single-award BPA has a ceiling value of $125,000 and runs through April 2027, facilitating the issuance of task orders as needed.
Under this contract, Lucas B. Thomas will deliver routine janitorial cleaning, lawn mowing, landscaping, and related facility upkeep at the two recreation areas managed by the Forest Service's Southern Region to support public access and use of National Forest lands. The agency has utilized this BPA to issue firm fixed price task orders valued at $13,448.15 in FY23 and $13,275 in FY22, both of which were set aside for total small business participation. This aligns with the Forest Service's broader efforts to maintain campgrounds, boat launches, picnic areas, and other recreation sites across its Southern Region through multi-year IDV contracts with small businesses.
