The USDA Forest Service, through its Procurement and Property Services division, is preparing to issue a BPA Call Order exceeding $20,000 for archaeological and cultural heritage services under the existing multiple-award BPA series covering thirteen pre-approved contractors. This action pertains specifically to a Heritage Survey project in the Upper Cossatot area near Mena-Oden RD in Arkansas and is conducted under simplified acquisition procedures as permitted by USDA policy. The procurement is restricted exclusively to small businesses previously qualified under the BPA series and is set aside entirely for small business participation in accordance with FAR 19.5. No formal solicitation is being issued, and companies not already on the BPA are not eligible to respond or seek clarification. The government will not provide evaluations or feedback on submissions, and the award will be made directly from the pool of incumbent contractors. The requirement is governed by NAICS code 541720 and is managed by the Csa East 1 USDA-FS office based in Atlanta, Georgia. All communications should be directed to the primary point of contact, Tobi Shumaker, at tobi.shumaker@usda.gov. The notice was posted on July 9, 2026, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026, by 5:20 PM Eastern Time. Performance will occur in Mena, Arkansas, with a zip code of 71953. This action is administrative in nature, intended to comply with procedural requirements and facilitate timely award against existing contracts without opening competition to new vendors.
