Chugach ECAP Audit

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), has issued a Special Notice regarding a Chugach ECAP Audit opportunity categorized as remediation services with a focus on environmental assessments. Posted on August 28, 2025, with a due date of September 12, 2025, this notice is set aside for total small business participation under NAICS code 562910 and PSC category B510. The USDA Forest Service Procurement & Property Services Northwest Branch is administering this opportunity as part of their compliance with USDA policy regarding simplified acquisition methods and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs). The point of contact for this opportunity is darnell.williams@usda.gov, and the work involves deliverables that will be provided to the ordering activity.

This Special Notice serves as a notification of intent to award a BPA Call Order rather than a formal solicitation, meaning it does not constitute a request for proposals and any information submitted in response is purely voluntary with no government financial responsibility for incurred costs. The BPA is specifically composed of small businesses, some operating under collective teaming agreements, with exactly 10 businesses currently eligible to receive the solicitation. Call Orders will be issued via email to companies listed on the existing BPA, and any changes to Call Order RFQs will also be communicated through email to the same group of pre-qualified businesses. The notice emphasizes that participation is limited to those companies already established on the BPA, indicating this is a restricted competition within a pre-qualified pool of small business contractors. The work falls under remediation services and environmental assessment analysis, suggesting the audit involves environmental compliance or remediation evaluation activities.
