VIPR I-BPA for West Zone Heavy Equipment with Water for Regions 3, 5 and 6

The USDA Forest Service has issued an amendment to solicitation 12569R25Q7003 (VIPR I‑BPA for West Zone Heavy Equipment with Water for Regions 3, 5, and 6, NAICS 115310). The award will be a total small‑business set‑aside (FAR 19.5) and responses are due 2025‑03‑25 17:00 ET. The amendment does not change the equipment requirements but updates the solicitation’s FAR clauses to ensure compliance with Executive Orders 14148 and 14208. A FAR class deviation (February 2025) inserts the latest versions of 52.223‑1, 52.223‑2, and 52.223‑23 (Biobased Product Certification, Reporting of Biobased Products, and Sustainable Products and Services) and revises the applicable regulations from 7 CFR 3201 to 7 CFR 4270. It also removes references to Executive Order 14057, the 52.223‑22 greenhouse‑gas disclosure clause, and the 52.212‑3/52.212‑5 offeror representation clauses. Offerors must incorporate these revised clauses and demonstrate compliance with the new sustainable‑product and biobased‑product requirements. Point of contact: Francoies Morman, USDA‑FS (francoies.morman@usda.gov; 770‑362‑9132). Additional guidance is provided in the CAAC letters linked in the amendment.
