Great Divide & Washburn Ranger Districts TSI Area Tree Release

The USDA Forest Service has published a Special Notice regarding the intent to award a competitive BPA Call Order (Requisition 1164718) for tree release activities in the Great Divide and Washburn Ranger Districts located at the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. This notice is set aside as a total small business opportunity and was posted on March 27, 2026, with a deadline of April 10, 2026. The call order is valued above the $25,000 threshold and will be issued against the Land Management Integrated Resources BPA (LMIR), a national blanket purchase agreement that serves all federal forests and grasslands. This Special Notice announces the Forest Service's intent to award the contract but does not constitute a solicitation for proposals.

The primary objective of this BPA Call Order is to conduct tree release work within the designated ranger districts as part of timber stand improvement activities on National Forest lands. Only companies that are already approved as eligible contractors under the LMIR BPA (contract number 12363N23Q4023) are eligible to submit proposals for this competitive call order. However, the LMIR BPA operates on a continuous pre-solicitation basis, allowing interested firms to apply for participation in the broader agreement at any time by contacting the LMIR BPA Team at SM.FS.lmirbpa@usda.gov. The LMIR BPA encompasses a diverse range of services including Professional Services, Natural Resources Restoration, Engineering, Project Management, NEPA compliance, and Communications. Interested contractors should review the original LMIR BPA documentation available on SAM.gov to understand the agreement's full scope and requirements before pursuing this opportunity.
