Lupine PCT, Buck, Hand/Grapple Pile Call Order

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region has issued a Notice of Intent for a Blanket Purchase Agreement call for comprehensive forestry services under solicitation 1240BE25Q0071. The procurement seeks contractors to perform hand cutting of trees, bucking, and grapple/hand piling of activity-created slash across a designated forest area in Oregon. This action falls under NAICS Code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry - Fuels Management) and Product Service Code F014 (Natural Resources/Conservation- Tree Thinning), indicating specialized forestry management requirements. The call will be issued against an existing competitive BPA (#1204N020A00XX) that was established under FAR 13.303 procedures. The original offer deadline was September 2, 2025, at 4:30 PM PT, with a 15-day inactive policy following offer receipt, though the current notice shows a due date of September 17, 2025.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business contractors who were awarded positions under the existing BPA through a competitive process.
