Notice of Intent to Award a BPA Call Order against PSW Stewardship BPA's

The USDA Forest Service's Procurement & Property Services, National Procurement Operations, Stewardship Contracting Branch has issued a special notice announcing its intent to award a BPA Call Order for the Porcupine SSC project. This notice relates to previously established Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Hazardous Fuels and Restoration Services under the PSW Stewardship BPA program. The Forest Service published this notice on September 19, 2025, as part of its compliance with USDA policy requirements outlined in the Contracting Desk Book regarding simplified acquisition methods for BPAs. The agency emphasizes that this is not a solicitation but rather a notification of intent to award. The procurement falls under the civilian agency operations of the Department of Agriculture.

The primary purpose of this special notice is to comply with USDA policy requirements for transparency in the BPA call order award process for stewardship contracting services. Contractors should understand that this is not a request for proposals and no submissions are being solicited in response to this notification. Eligibility for this procurement is strictly limited to companies that have already been approved and are eligible for call orders under the existing PSW Stewardship BPA framework. The requirement may be awarded to multiple vendors as BPA Call Orders against previously solicited BPAs that were posted on the Government Point of Entry. The government has explicitly stated it will not provide feedback or evaluations to companies regarding any submissions made in response to this notice, reinforcing that no contractor action is required or requested.
