North Fork John Day Thin and Hand Pile

This Blanket Purchase Agreement call will solicit quotes for a North Fork John Day Thin and Hand Pile project consisting of pre-commercial thinning with lop and scatter and pre-commercial thinning with hand piling on 1,828 acres of the Umatilla National Forest. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region seeks these fuel management services. Only current BPA holders will be eligible to quote, with responses due by March 11, 2024. Award is anticipated on March 15, 2024, with a performance period from date of award through December 25, 2025 and an estimated notice to proceed of April 1, 2024.

The opportunity is set aside as a total small business and has a NAICS code of 115310 for fuel management services. Up to 1,828 acres will be treated under contracts awarded. No budget range or incumbent was provided, but the relatively short response window and quick anticipated award date indicate the government's need to execute fuel reduction work on the Umatilla National Forest in an expedited manner under existing BPAs.
