Blanket Purchase Agreement 12FPC121A0013

The National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Knight Barry Title Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, to provide title search and closing services in support of the agency's wetlands conservation programs in Wisconsin. The $100,000 BPA, which runs through September 2026, serves as the primary vehicle for the NRCS to procure title work from Knight Barry Title. Multiple firm-fixed price task orders, ranging from $7,500 to $16,950, have been issued against this BPA for title searches to verify land ownership and identify encumbrances to facilitate the enrollment of agricultural lands into permanent or long-term wetlands easements under programs such as the Wetlands Reserve Program, Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program, and Agriculture Conservation Easement Program-Wetland Reserve Easements. This work is crucial in supporting the NRCS's mission of assisting agricultural producers with protecting soil, water, and wildlife habitats through the acquisition of wetlands easements. No set-aside designations have been used for these contract awards, indicating that Knight Barry Title Inc. competes in the open market for these title work services.
