Notice of Intent to Award a BPA Call Order

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a competitive Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order for road infrastructure work in Region 9. This notice, posted on July 9, 2025, pertains to a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity under the Forest Service's established Roads Blanket Purchase Agreements program. The work involves the removal and replacement of culvert infrastructure at a road/stream crossing location. The notice carries Federal Contract Opportunity ID ab864b895c8c40148eb64a808bc52b39 and falls under NAICS code 237310 for Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. The Forest Service has designated this as an informational notice only, indicating that the award decision process is already underway.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide transparency regarding the Forest Service's intent to award a call order for culvert replacement work, specifically involving the removal of a corroded corrugated metal pipe culvert and its replacement with a new reinforced concrete pipe arch structure. Contractors have until July 16, 2025, to respond, though the notice emphasizes this is for informational purposes only. Eligibility is strictly limited to contractors who currently hold active BPA agreements for the respective zone under the Forest Service Region 9 Roads Blanket Purchase Agreements program.

This notice represents the Forest Service's utilization of its existing BPA framework to efficiently procure specialized road infrastructure services while maintaining competition among pre-qualified small business contractors.
