El Yunque National Forest La Mina Trail Construction Inspector Services

The USDA Forest Service, Procurement & Property Services, Field Procurement Operations East Zone is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order for construction inspection services related to the El Yunque National Forest La Mina Trail project. This special notice was posted on November 10, 2025, with a due date of November 28, 2025. The procurement is being executed under simplified acquisition methods as outlined in the USDA Contracting Desk Book. This is not a solicitation but rather a notification of intent to award against an existing BPA for Region 8 Inspection Services. The notice indicates that this award will be made exclusively to companies already approved and eligible for call orders under the existing Region 8 Inspection Services BPA previously solicited on the Government Point of Entry.

The primary purpose of this BPA Call Order is to secure construction inspection services for the El Yunque National Forest La Mina Trail project where qualified personnel are not available through standard contracting channels. Additional services available through this BPA include engineering support, cost estimation, construction scheduling, and materials testing. The scope of eligible project locations extends across the USDA Region 8, encompassing the Southern Region of the Forest Service, which includes thirteen states plus Puerto Rico: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. Participation in this procurement is restricted exclusively to companies that hold current BPA status under the Region 8 Inspection Services BPA; companies not already approved under this existing agreement are ineligible to submit responses. The government will not provide feedback or evaluations to companies regarding their submissions in response to this notice, and submission does not constitute a formal proposal process but rather a call order against the pre-existing BPA.
