Land treatment services to treat Sudden Oak Death

The Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington is seeking land treatment services to combat Sudden Oak Death (SOD) through a Blanket Purchase Agreement for the Coos Bay Oregon District. The procurement covers comprehensive forest management services including herbicide application using cut stump and hack-and-squirt methods, tree and brush cutting across multiple difficulty levels, infected tree treatment, trail construction, prescribed fire crew services, and site mobilization. The BPA will establish a multiple-award commercial services contract with a five-year performance period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030, structured as a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. Contractors must be capable of mobilizing and beginning operations within 10 calendar days of receiving an order and must follow strict environmental and safety protocols to prevent the spread of Sudden Oak Death. The solicitation closing date has been extended to June 20, 2025, following recent amendments to the original solicitation.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with a size standard of $11.5 million, and the government has noted that a previous BPA (140L4320A0024) existed for these services. The maximum purchase limit per order is capped at $250,000, with warranted contracting officers from both the Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture authorized to place orders under the Service First agreement. The contract will utilize firm fixed pricing across detailed service categories with varying difficulty levels based on factors such as tree size and treatment complexity. Services will be performed primarily on SOD-infected sites in Curry County, Oregon, though work may extend throughout the entire Coos Bay District. The procurement falls under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and includes prevailing wage requirements based on the Department of Labor's wage determination for Oregon counties of Coos, Curry, and Douglas.
