Notice of Intent to Award a BPA Call Order against Reforestation/NNIS BPA

The USDA Forest Service has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a competitive BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement) Call Order for reforestation and non-native invasive species (NNIS) treatment services valued at over $25,000. This notice is posted as a Total Small Business set-aside opportunity with a posted date of June 30, 2025, and a due date of July 22, 2025. The Forest Service's Procurement & Property Services division is managing this procurement under requisition number 1153462, in compliance with USDA's simplified acquisition methods policy for BPAs. The work will be performed across various locations within the Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The services encompass comprehensive forestry support including chemical site preparation, tree planting, mechanical site preparation, precommercial thinning, timber stand improvement, and non-native invasive plant treatments.

The purpose of this notice is to inform eligible contractors of the Forest Service's intention to competitively award a call order against existing multiple award schedule BPAs for reforestation and NNIS services that were previously established under solicitation number 12444122R0012 SC NNIS. Participation is restricted exclusively to the eight approved companies currently listed on the existing Reforestation/NNIS Blanket Purchase Agreement, who will receive the solicitation via email. This special notice explicitly states it is not a solicitation itself and does not constitute a request for proposals or require any response from contractors. The procurement will be conducted competitively among the pre-qualified BPA holders, with the call order and any subsequent changes distributed electronically to eligible companies. The government has indicated it will not provide feedback or evaluations to companies regarding their submissions, and all communications should be directed to the designated point of contact at ioulia.boxley@usda.gov.
