The project will utilize Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) funding to support forest management and recreation site maintenance. The Forest Service plans to email the solicitation directly to BPA holders in May 2025, with a tentative contract award scheduled for June 2025.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and will be competitively bid among existing BPA holders.

Contractors will need to demonstrate capabilities in timber removal, forest maintenance, and recreation site stewardship, with a focus on hazardous fuels reduction and forest health improvement in the specified campground and day-use areas.
