This is a commercial-item acquisition that has been tailored to include fitting the Government�s method of trading goods for services in Stewardship instruments. 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. Multiple awards will be made for 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. Upon award, only the BPA awardees may bid on subsequent Call Order solicitations that are project specific. Some examples of the types of work included are cut and remove sawtimber, non-sawtimber and/or biomass; mastication, hand cutting, and piling; and road maintenance. The types of Call Orders that may be issued include: (1) Integrated Resource Service Contract (IRSC) with required timber product removal; (2) Service-based IRSC that includes the option for Timber Subject to Agreement products to be removed when there is no required timber product removal; and (3) Service contract in which no timber product removal is included. Request for Quotes (RFQ) of 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 all firms must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) 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 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. We encourage you to review the solicitation package and ask any questions you may have. This BPA will be the primary means in which IRSCs, Service-based IRSCs, and restoration-based service contracts will be issued in the future. Proposals for this BPA must be emailed to Matt Daigle at�matthew.daigle@usda.gov and Mark Phillipp at mark.phillipp@usda.gov.�for consideration.� If you have any technical questions or concerns, contact Matt Etzenhouser at matthew.etzenhouser@usda.gov or (970) 596-9283. For proposal or administrative questions, contact Matt Daigle at matthew.daigle@usda.gov.��
