The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to KB John LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned limited liability company, to provide specialized refrigerated transportation services for the Coeur d'Alene Nursery. The $250,000 single-award BPA has a 5-year ordering period from March 2024 to March 2029 and requires the transportation of highly perishable plant materials, primarily conifer seedlings, across multiple states in the northwestern United States. The contractor will be responsible for delivering approximately 10,000-16,000 boxes annually across 35-45 trips, covering an estimated 8,000-15,000 loaded miles primarily within 500 miles of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The contract is not set aside for any particular business category, allowing KB John LLC to compete alongside other prime contractors for task orders. The Forest Service intends to award up to three BPAs through this competitive solicitation, which was open to small businesses in the Specialized Freight Trucking (NAICS 484220) industry with a $34 million size standard.
