BPA Lumber for Pine Bluff Arsenal

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for lumber procurement to support operations at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas. The procurement covers various types of lumber including hardwood lumber in multiple dimensions (1x4, 1x6, 1x8 in various widths and lengths), dimensional softwood construction grade lumber in standard dimensions, and power poles in 35', 40', and 45' Class 3 configurations. This will be structured as a firm fixed price BPA with a base ordering period and four option periods, requiring FOB Destination delivery to Pine Bluff Arsenal. All materials must pass inspection through the Government's Quality Assurance Department, with contractors responsible for replacing non-compliant parts at their own expense, including shipping costs. Contractors must also provide a Certificate of Conformance and Certified Test Report demonstrating compliance with all technical data requirements. The anticipated solicitation issue date is August 7, 2025, with responses due approximately 15 days thereafter, and interested parties must monitor sam.gov daily for any changes or updates to the solicitation.

This procurement is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 321113 (Sawmills), restricting competition to qualifying small businesses in the sawmill industry. All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to conducting business with the Department of Defense, as this is a mandatory requirement for all DOD suppliers. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 31, 2025, with a due date of August 12, 2025, providing potential bidders with a limited timeframe to prepare their responses. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or identify any incumbent contractors, though it emphasizes the multiple ordering periods structure typical of BPA arrangements. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 5510 for Lumber and Related Basic Wood Materials, reflecting the specialized nature of the construction and maintenance materials being sought. Contractors interested in this opportunity should prepare to demonstrate their capability to supply various lumber types while meeting stringent quality assurance and certification requirements.
