The USDA Forest Service awarded multiple blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) to Chestnut Ridge Forestry under a total small business set-aside solicitation to provide archaeological/cultural heritage services and forestry-related tasks across several national forests. Chestnut Ridge Forestry was issued various call orders against these BPAs totaling over $500,000 to conduct common stand examinations, conservation seeding and erosion control plots, thinning services, and vegetation and habitat assessments across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas through late 2024. The work involves collecting forestry data and performing land management activities to support the agency's stewardship of public lands in the Southern region. As the Forest Service regularly requires vegetation and resource monitoring to inform planning and compliance efforts, these contracts provide needed field examination and inventory capabilities. All awards were fixed-price and no subcontractors were utilized. Placements of performance included specified forests and districts in the above states.
The original solicitation sought multiple BPAs to provide archaeological and cultural heritage services for five Forest Service regions spanning Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The performance work statement indicated the contracts aimed to procure professional survey and compliance support. Responsive small businesses were encouraged to submit offers for these 100% set-aside agreements to facilitate land management tasks critical to the agency's mission.
