About this IDV
Jorge's Forrestry Services LLC, a Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Dardanelle, Arkansas, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $7.5 million by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Southern Region (Region 8), on March 7, 2023, with a performance period extending through February 28, 2028. The BPA establishes a framework for the contractor to provide vegetative management and wildlife protection services across national forests in Arkansas. Core services include prescribed burning support, tree thinning, chemical and manual vegetation removal, herbicide and pesticide application, wildlife habitat restoration, site preparation, pre-commercial thinning, and non-structural wildlife support activities. The contract utilizes a firm fixed-price pricing structure and predominantly carries a total small business set-aside designation, supporting federal procurement objectives to expand opportunities for minority-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises. Performance locations are distributed across multiple national forest areas in Arkansas, including the Ouachita National Forest, with specific work sites in Waldron, Jessieville, Mena, and Hot Springs.
Task orders issued under this BPA through September 2025 demonstrate active utilization of the agreement across diverse vegetation management initiatives. Representative task orders include midstory reduction work on the Poteau and Cold Springs Ranger Districts ($27,811 and $28,420 respectively), vegetation management on the Cold Springs Ranger District of the Ouachita National Forest ($56,405), chemical release treatments in Jessieville ($150,119 with performance extended through June 30, 2026), pre-commercial thinning services covering 172 acres with over 1,600 stems per acre ($18,404), and manual release and control work across multiple acreage parcels ($43,788 with final invoice modification of $897). Additional task orders address specialized services such as cut surface/foliar spray treatments ($7,700), Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program support ($20,520), and glade restoration activities ($1,715). These task orders reflect the Forest Service's ongoing utilization of the contractor's capabilities to support forest health, ecosystem integrity, and wildfire risk reduction objectives across the Southern Region through calendar year 2026.
