FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region established the FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Master BPA on July 10, 2023, with ordering authority through June 30, 2033. The vehicle is heavily skewed toward small business set-asides: 92% of the 60 awarded task orders carry a Total Small Business designation, with the remaining 8% unrestricted. Ordering remains active and vigorous—12 orders have been issued year-to-date as of mid-July 2026, continuing the acceleration pattern of 20 orders in 2024 and 21 in 2025.

The BPA contracts exclusively for forest road maintenance across the Pacific Northwest Region's national forests, including road grading, ditch and culvert cleaning, culvert replacement, vegetation maintenance and brushing, dust abatement, pothole patching, emergency repairs to storm and fire damage, and related surface-level infrastructure work. Geographic scope spans multiple ranger districts across Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie, Gifford Pinchot, Okanogan-Wenatchee, Olympic, Colville, and Mt. Hood National Forests, primarily in Washington State.

The combined potential value across all 60 task orders is $7.7 million, with $7.6 million already obligated (99% draw-down). Task-order values range from $3,200 (emergency slide removal) to roughly $477,000, with most orders falling in the $50,000 to $300,000 band. Ordering is concentrated: Jamesco Pro Inc. holds 11 orders worth $1.5 million combined potential value, and B.a. Cleansvendornametrait.phpvan De Grift, Inc. holds 8 orders worth $1.2 million, together accounting for roughly 26% of the portfolio. Activity is almost entirely Forest Service Region 6 internal—59 of 60 orders fund the same contracting office; one order, valued at $93 thousand, funded a parent Forest Service account. Competition spans 19 distinct prime contractors, though the long tail beyond the top five is modest given the vehicle's narrow geographic and functional scope. All task orders carry firm fixed-price terms with completion windows typically 12 to 18 months out from award.

The BPA's shared ceiling of $49 million remains substantially underutilized, but the vehicle's ordering rate and conservative task-order sizing suggest the $7.7 million already committed represents the expected vehicle value range rather than a procurement shortfall.
