Notice of Intent to Award A BPA Call Order

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has published a Special Notice announcing their intent to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order for Midstory Control services on the Wayne National Forest. This notice is classified as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity under NAICS code 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code F099 (Natural Resources/Conservation- Other). The notice was posted on July 22, 2025, with a due date of August 12, 2025. The Forest Service emphasizes that this is not a solicitation but rather a formal notification of their intent to proceed with an award under an existing BPA framework. The opportunity involves professional services related to natural resources management and forest restoration activities.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors about an upcoming competitive award for midstory control work that will be issued against the existing Land Management Integrated Resources BPA (LMIR), a national agreement that encompasses professional services, natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, NEPA compliance, and communications support. Only companies already approved under the LMIR BPA (solicitation number 12363N23Q4023) are eligible to participate, with the call order being distributed via email to the 86 currently eligible businesses. The LMIR BPA operates as a continuously open program, allowing new contractors to join at any time by contacting Carrie Edwards at carrie.edwards@usda.gov. This national BPA is available for use by all federal agencies and provides a streamlined procurement mechanism for natural resources and forestry-related professional services. Contractors interested in future opportunities under this program can find additional details on SAM.gov using the provided solicitation link.
