AI Contract Overview

The Intermountain Stewardship Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), solicitation 12363N23Q4028, is a long-term vehicle established by the USDA Forest Service to manage hazardous fuels reduction and forest restoration projects across Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Western Wyoming. Authorized under the Stewardship Authority of Public Law 108-148, the BPA covers federal and non-federal lands within 150 miles of several designated National Forests, including the Boise, Payette, Salmon-Challis, Sawtooth, Caribou-Targhee, Humboldt-Toiyabe, Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-La Sal, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache, and Bridger-Teton forests. The scope of work includes the cutting and removal of sawtimber and biomass, mastication, hand cutting, piling, and road maintenance. The agreement has an initial period of performance of 10 years, with an option to extend up to 20 years. Future work will be assigned via call orders for Integrated Resource Service Contracts (IRSC) and restoration-based service contracts. Awards are made based on a best-value trade-off methodology rather than the lowest price. Evaluation factors include relevant past performance, key personnel experience, equipment suitability, and the benefit provided to the local community. Contractors must maintain active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to be eligible for award and must utilize the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) for all electronic invoicing. The contract includes stringent labor compliance requirements, specifically regarding the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act (MSPA) and H-2B temporary employment certifications. Technical specifications for work items, tree measurement, and road maintenance are detailed in the contract appendices, and quality is measured by a 90% minimum acceptable quality level across inspection quadrants. Recent amendments have updated the solicitation to comply with 2025 Executive Orders and FAR class deviations.

**Amendment 001 corrects the offer due date in box 8 of the SF-1449 and replaces the solicitation to correct an error on the Schedule of Items. Replaced the Wyoming listing for the Caribou Targhee National Forest with the the Bridger Teton National Forest.**


 ***This solicitation will remain open to receipt fo proposals at any time. Initial evaluations are requested to be submitted by April 12, 2023 for potential projects in the 2023 field season***


The Intermountain Stewardship BPA shall be awarded under the following authority:
Stewardship Authority: Section 604 (16 USC 6591c) of Public Law 108-148 as amended by Section 8205 of Public Law 113-79, the Agricultural Act of 2014—Grants the U.S. Forest Service (Government) permanent authority to enter into stewardship contracts or agreements to achieve land management goals for the National Forests or public lands that meet local and rural community needs. Section 8205 supersedes the temporary authority granted to the Forest Service (Government) in section 347 of Public Law 105-277, the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Appropriations Act, 1999.


Stewardship authorities permit the Government to solicit this requirement as Full and Open competition.


PROJECT DESCRIPTION:


The USDA Forest Service Stewardship and Disaster Recovery Branch is advertising the Intermountain stewardship BPA. This BPA will issue future calls for individual Hazardous Fuels and Restoration project areas in Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Western Wyoming.


The scope covers Federal and Non-Federal lands within 150 miles of and including the administrative boundaries of the Boise, Payette, Salmon-Challis, Sawtooth, Caribou-Targhee, Humboldt-Toiyabe, Ashely, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-Lasal, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache and Bridger-Teton National Forests. Work may be accomplished on Non-Federal lands, but the BPA call will be issued and administered by a government entity.


Multiple awards may be made to this BPA on an individual National Forest basis once the Forest Service has evaluated the technical proposals and pricing submitted in response to the solicitation. Examples of the types of Hazardous Fuels and Restoration work that may be included are cutting and removal of sawtimber, non-sawtimber, and/or biomass; mastication, hand cutting and piling; and road maintenance. 


The period of performance of the awarded Blanket Purchase Agreements is 10 years from date of contract with option to extend up to 20 years. This BPA will be the primary means in which future Call Orders issued include: (1) Integrated Resource Service Contract (IRSC) with required timber product removal; (2) IRSCs that includes the option for Timber Subject to Agreement products to be removed when there is no required timber product removal; and (3) Restoration-based Service contract in which no timber product removal is included.


Future Call Orders for specific projects will be emailed to only the Contractors awarded under this BPA. 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 BPA award; thereby, effectively excluding an otherwise successful offeror from receiving a Call Order solicitation. Registration in SAM is a free service. Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) offers resources that are available free of charge at www.aptac-us.org/find-a-ptac/ in order to assist with both SAM registration and in proposal submission.
