The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Deppman Law PLC, a small business law firm, to provide title and closing services for NRCS easement acquisitions in the state of Vermont.
The $250,000 BPA, awarded on August 1, 2024, with a completion date of June 30, 2029, facilitates call orders for Deppman Law PLC to perform title searches, title commitments, title updates, closing services, and other realty work supporting NRCS's easement and land acquisition programs. These programs, such as the Regional Conservation Partnership Program and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, aim to promote soil conservation, water quality, and sustainable agriculture. The BPA was awarded under a 100% small business set-aside solicitation using NAICS code 541110 (Offices of Lawyers) with a $19.5 million size standard. The government anticipates making multiple awards to provide greater contractor capacity and flexibility, but does not guarantee any orders under this performance-based acquisition approach.
