This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service's Northern Research Station to Clearwater Forest Analytics, LLC, a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Rapid City, South Dakota. The primary purpose of this $7,500,000 single-award BPA, valid through December 2029, is to provide the Forest Service with professional forestry services and data collection support for its nationwide Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program.
Under this BPA, Clearwater Forest Analytics will be responsible for accessing randomly located inventory plots, primarily on privately owned lands across 24 states, to collect comprehensive data on forest extent, content, and ownership. This work involves on-site assessments, potentially requiring aerial photography, mapping, and landowner permissions. The contractor must demonstrate technical capabilities, past performance, and the ability to work independently in diverse environments. The FIA data supports national, state, and local policymaking by providing timely, scientifically credible information about U.S. forests and urban landscapes.
