About this file
This document is an Amendment (Amendment 0002) to the Arizona Forest Engineering Road Maintenance (FERM) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), issued by the USDA Forest Service. The amendment implements two Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) class deviations to ensure compliance with recent Executive Orders 14148, 14173, 14168, and 14208, while removing outdated FAR and Agricultural Acquisition Regulation (AGAR) clauses and provisions that do not align with current commercial products and services procedures.
Key changes include removing specific provisions related to equal opportunity, affirmative action, and minimum wages, and adding deviations to various clauses to align with recent executive orders. The amendment also eliminates sustainability requirements related to Executive Order 14057, such as those concerning food service wares. All call orders will incorporate these changes by reference at the time of award, with existing awarded call orders to be updated during the next contract modification. The class deviations will remain in effect until rescinded or incorporated into the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
