Stevens Ridge Mastication Call Order

The U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region Procurement & Property Services is issuing a call order against an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA #1240BE22A00XX) for mastication services on the Stevens Ridge project within the Pomeroy Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest in Washington state. The procurement seeks contractors to perform mastication treatments, which involve mechanically reducing vegetation and forest fuels to support forest management and fire prevention objectives. The project falls under NAICS code 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry - Fuels Management and Product Service Code F014 for Natural Resources/Conservation - Tree Thinning. Following Amendment 001 issued on August 12, 2025, quotations are now due on August 18, 2025, at 4:30 PM PT, with an inactive policy period of 15 days after offers are received. The contracting officer for this procurement is Andrea Pollock, who can be contacted at andrea.pollock@usda.gov for copies of the full solicitation.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business contractors who were previously awarded positions on the existing competitive BPA that includes multiple small business vendors. The project encompasses a total of 623 acres requiring mastication treatment within the Pomeroy Ranger District. The performance period has been extended through Amendment 001, with the project completion date now set for November 30, 2028, providing contractors with an extended timeline for completing the forest management work. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the substantial acreage and multi-year performance period suggest this represents a significant forest management initiative. The procurement process utilizes the streamlined BPA call order mechanism under FAR 13.303, allowing for efficient competition among pre-qualified small business contractors.
