The USDA Master Environmental and Technical Support Services (METSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement is a comprehensive contract vehicle designed to provide environmental, technical, and support services across various USDA program areas. The master BPA enables multiple contractors to deliver specialized environmental planning, compliance, sustainability, and technical consultation services to different USDA agencies and offices. With a shared ceiling of $99,000,000, the contract vehicle supports a wide range of environmental and technical initiatives, particularly focusing on program-specific needs such as rural energy, infrastructure, and sustainability projects.

Recent task orders demonstrate the vehicle's versatility, with contracts ranging from $11.5 million to $18.2 million for environmental review and technical support services. The most recent awards include a Firm Fixed Price contract to Solv LLC (Mangi Environmental Group) for environmental review services related to the Inflation Reduction Act and a Labor Hours contract to Sundance Consultants, LLC supporting the Rural Energy for America Program and Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program. The task orders reveal a preference for small businesses, with Sundance Consultants being a Native American-owned, woman-owned small business holding 8(a) Program Participant certification. While the task orders do not consistently use small business set-asides, they consistently involve non-personal services supporting specific USDA rural development and energy initiatives, typically with performance periods between three to five years.
