This procurement is set aside for Small Businesses. The NAICS code is 238910 and the Small Business Size Standard is $14.0 million average annual receipts over three years. The George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia (GWJ ) is seeking to form Blanket Purchase Agreements with small businesses to furnish EQUIPMENT RENTAL WITH OPERATOR, ON AN HOURLY, TIME AND MATERIALS BASIS. RESPONSES WILL BE DUE BY 4:30 p.m., NOVEMBER 20, 2012. Vendors should submit a by-the-hour pricing list for the equipment listed in the solicitation, and for any unlisted equipment available to the contractor which may be of use to the Government during the performance of heavy and civil engineering work ranging from culvert repair or replacement, fill material placement, slide/debris removal, road repair, and/or similar work to roads, bridges, established recreation areas, or any other reasonable developed location within the Forests' administrative boundaries. Interested vendors are not required to submit pricing for every piece of equipment listed in this solicitation. • Award of a Blanket Purchase Agreement will be based upon prices submitted, past performance and experience. Three to five BPAs are expected to be awarded for each District (the Government reserves the right to award more or fewer depending upon responses received). • Work may be awarded non-competitively to BPA holders under the micro-purchase threshold of $2,500. Work will be competed as described in the Blanket Purchase Agreement among the BPA holders for each District between $2,500 and $25,000. • Awarded Task Orders will be subject to the Service Contract Act. • Single Task Orders could range from $2,500 to as much as $25,000, depending on the circumstances necessitating the order and the work needing to be accomplished. • Estimated dollar value of work to be ordered is expected to range from approximately $20,000 to $50,000 per District per year. • ACTUAL value of orders placed under an agreement will vary significantly within these numbers, depending on contingencies such as unusually severe weather in one area, available budget, and evolving management priorities. • Effective period of each agreement will be five years or until the total spent under the agreement is $150,000 (whichever is sooner), or until termination of the agreement in writing by either the Government or the Vendor. • Blanket Purchase Agreements are not binding contractual documents, but Task Orders awarded under the Agreements will be binding contracts. • A solicitation for new vendors interested in participating in the competitive BPA competitive for this work will be issued in Fiscal Year 2014, and in each succeeding year, in response to which new agreements may be added to the competitive pool. This will be the only solicitation for vendors interested in holding a BPA advertised during Fiscal Year 2013.
