Multiple awards will be made on an individual National Forest basis. The period of performance is ten years with an option to extend up to twenty years. The BPA will issue future Integrated Resource Service Contracts with required timber product removal, Service-based IRSCs with optional timber removal, and service contracts without timber removal. Work types include commercial and non-commercial timber harvesting, biomass removal, mastication, hand cutting and piling, and road maintenance.
Offerors must submit separate technical and pricing proposals and be registered in the System for Award Management with an active email account to be eligible for award. Technical proposals must address key personnel, equipment, past performance, and local community benefits. Pricing must be provided by activity and National Forest using provided rate schedules.

The period of performance of the awarded Blanket Purchase Agreements is 10 years from date of contract with option to extend up to 20 years.
