NORTHERN ROCKIES STEWARDSHIP BPA

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA (Solicitation 12363N23Q4038) for Region 1 (Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota) covering multiple national forests. Offerors must submit a technical proposal (max 5 pages, not counting any Safety Plan or Performance Work Plan Schedule) and a separate price proposal in PDF format. The technical proposal must address four equally‑weighted evaluation criteria—Key Personnel, Relevant Past Performance, Equipment, and Benefit to the Local Community—and include a Technical Approach (operating plan, biomass utilization, quality‑control plan), labor and equipment hour estimates, other direct costs, a safety plan augmentation, a performance schedule, use of government property, and a teaming arrangement with approved subcontractors. All stewardship activities listed for each forest must be priced; failure to price any item will render the offer non‑responsive. Award will be based on best overall value, evaluated on quality of services, customer satisfaction, timeliness of performance, and overall business relations. The solicitation incorporates FAR 52.212‑2/‑3/‑4 clauses, Service Contract Act wage determinations for each state, and specifies a 30‑day price hold. Fair‑opportunity exceptions apply to orders expected to exceed $2,500 when urgency, unique capability, or sole‑source justification exists. The BPA remains open for continuous proposals, with the initial award cycle targeting the 2023 field season.
