About this opportunity
The USDA Forest Service published this Special Notice on December 15, 2025, announcing its intent to extend Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) established under solicitation 1202SC21Q0001. These BPAs support the National Type 2 Firefighter Crew programs and were originally established in May 2021 for a five-year period. The extension will align the timelines for both Type 2 Incident Area (IA) and Type 2 Contract Crew programs, ensuring consistency across the agency's firefighting operations. This is a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity, restricting participation to small business contractors. The Special Notice serves as advance notification that affected contractors and potential bidders should expect further communications regarding the extension.
The Forest Service intends to extend all current and future BPAs through May 2027, following the completion of an annual review scheduled for 2026. Contractors should note that no response to this Special Notice is required at this time; instead, detailed instructions and amendment information will be provided through a solicitation amendment posted to sam.gov in early February 2026. The annual review solicitation will be posted under the same solicitation number (1202SC21Q0001) and will contain all necessary requirements and instructions for participating contractors. Small businesses engaged in support activities for forestry and forest fire suppression operations are the eligible participants for these agreements. Interested contractors should monitor sam.gov beginning in February 2026 for the formal solicitation amendment to ensure compliance with any updated terms and conditions.
