Notice of Intent to Award BPA Call Order

The USDA Forest Service has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order for Crop Tree Release work at Buck Forest on the Wayne National Forest. This procurement will be conducted under the Land Management Integrated Resources BPA (LMIR), which is a national blanket purchase agreement covering professional services including natural resources restoration, engineering, project management, NEPA compliance, and communications across all forests and grasslands for federal agencies. The opportunity is set aside for total small business participation and was posted on August 8, 2025, with a response deadline of August 28, 2025. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry and PSC category F099 for Natural Resources/Conservation activities.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide advance notification of an upcoming competitive award for forestry management services specifically focused on crop tree release operations. Participation in this opportunity is restricted to the 121 companies that are already approved and eligible to receive call orders under the existing LMIR BPA framework. The Forest Service will issue the call order via email to these pre-qualified contractors, with the complete solicitation documentation available through SAM.gov under solicitation number 12363N23Q4023. The LMIR BPA operates with a continuous pre-solicitation process that allows eligible contractors to join the approved vendor pool at any time by contacting the designated point of contact, Carrie Edwards at carrie.edwards@usda.gov. This streamlined approach enables the Forest Service to efficiently procure specialized forestry services while maintaining competitive opportunities among qualified small businesses.
