LAND MANAGEMENT INTEGRATED RESOURCES (LMIR) NATIONAL BPA

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call Order under the National Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA to procure tree planting and cultural resource inventory services within the Grand Valley Ranger District in Colorado and across the Sawtooth and Boise National Forests in Idaho. This procurement is restricted to the 43 pre-approved contractors currently on the LMIR BPA, which is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract open to all federal agencies and continuously solicited on SAM.gov under solicitation number 12363N23Q4023. The BPA encompasses a broad scope of services including natural resources restoration, cultural resource surveys, project management, engineering, and NEPA compliance, with this specific call order targeting ecological restoration efforts in defined geographic areas including Amber Lakes, Easley Hot Springs, and surrounding USGS quadrangles. All work must comply with 36 CFR Part 61, ARPA, and NHPA Section 106, requiring personnel to meet Secretary of the Interior professional qualification standards and hold appropriate state certifications. The evaluation and award will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, prioritizing the lowest-priced offer that meets minimum technical standards, including acceptable Key Personnel with verified field experience in cultural resource surveying, a government-approved Quality Control Plan, and acceptable or neutral past performance. Key Personnel, including the Principal Investigator and Field Supervisor, are subject to strict qualification requirements and substitution restrictions without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer. Performance will be conducted across multiple sites in Idaho and Colorado, with delivery timelines extending up to two years from the date of award, and inspection and acceptance governed by FAR 52.246-4 with specific quality thresholds including spatial accuracy within five meters, attribute completeness, and adherence to transect spacing protocols. Compliance with new federal clauses such as FAR 52.222-90 addressing DEI discrimination and AGAR 452.236-70 covering emergency response and liability is mandatory. All submissions must be made electronically via the LMIR BPA portal on SAM.gov, and pricing details for line items remain blank, indicating the call order will be awarded based on pre-negotiated rates contained within the underlying BPA rather than new bid submissions. No packaging, labeling, or MIL-STD requirements are specified, and payment terms are structured as milestones—50% upon fieldwork completion, 35%
