The Forest Service will award this competitively against previously solicited multiple award schedule BPAs listed on SAM.gov. Interested parties must submit organizational information (name, address, email, website, telephone number, and size/type of ownership) and tailored capability statements with supporting documentation of organizational and staff capability, including administrative and management structures if significant subcontracting or teaming is anticipated, by close of business June 5, 2026, to Kevin D. Flores at kevin.flores@usda.gov. The government will evaluate market capacity, resource availability, project management capability, and performance-based service delivery.
