DESCRIPTION


The USDA Forest Service requires services for the transportation of surplus Federal timber products by rail or truck. This Blanket Ordering Agreement (BOA) is part of a PILOT project that has been designed to incentivize the removal of deficit haul and/or surplus Federal timber products by providing alternative disposal outlets. This BOA will allow the issuance of future orders to be awarded as firm-fixed price contracts. The scope covers the transportation (and all associated transportation services) of all Federal timber products.


The government intends to award multiple BOAs from this opportunity. This BOA opportunity will remain “Open and Continuous” for 4-years from date of any initial award made, not to exceed 12/31/2029. Initial proposals are requested for evaluation by 3:00 PM Pacific Time, May 10, 2024. Contractors may submit quotes and technical proposals at any time this BOA remains open.


Future Orders for specific projects will be emailed to only the Contractors awarded under this BOA. As such, it is imperative that all interested individuals have an email account, and that all firms must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to be eligible for award under this solicitation. If not actively registered, the Forest Service will be unable to make a BOA award; thereby, effectively excluding an otherwise successful offeror from receiving a Call Order solicitation. Registration in SAM is a free service. Apex Accelerators offers resources that are available free of charge at https://www.apexaccelerators.us/#/ to assist with both SAM registration and in proposal submission.

Solicitation 12363N26R4014 is a Request for Proposal for the Bitterroot Front G-Z Long Term Integrated Resource Service Contract, a total small business set-aside under NAICS 113310. The project covers approximately 145,000 acres across the Stevensville and Darby Ranger Districts of the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana.
