Boise Cascade Company

Boise Cascade Company is a for-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2004, specializing in wood products manufacturing and forest management services. Based in Boise, Idaho, the company is a significant player in the wood products industry, focusing on innovative timber technologies and sustainable forest management solutions. Through recent federal grant awards, Boise Cascade has been actively engaged in research and development of advanced timber materials, specifically focusing on veneer laminated timber and mass timber construction technologies.

The company has received two notable federal grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, totaling $3,615,384. These project grants, awarded under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674) and the Community Wood Energy and Wood Innovation Program (CFDA 10.708), support research into veneer laminated timber as a renewable, high-performance building material. The three-year projects aim to investigate wood and wood biomass applications, with a specific focus on developing innovative mass timber construction solutions. These grants will help Boise Cascade offset capital expenditures related to building an advanced wood products facility and conducting applied research on sustainable construction materials.

Boise Cascade has secured three significant Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each valued at $50 million and spanning until October 2032. These single-award IDVs cover stewardship services across multiple regions: the Intermountain Region (Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming) and the Pacific Northwest Region (Oregon and Washington). Under these agreements, Boise Cascade will provide comprehensive forest management services, including vegetation management, habitat restoration, hazardous fuels reduction, mechanical thinning, controlled burns, and replanting efforts. The BPAs are designed to support forest health, reduce wildfire risk, and enhance wildlife habitat on National Forest System lands, with the flexibility to issue task orders as needed throughout the agreement's duration.
