The USDA Forest Service is issuing a notice of intent to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA. The work involves locating, mapping, and collecting native seeds within the Ochoco National Forest in Bend, Oregon. This is not a competitive solicitation; the order will be sent via email to the 185 firms already approved on the LMIR BPA, and any amendments will also be emailed to them. The procurement is set‑aside for small businesses and follows USDA’s simplified acquisition policies. • Scope: Seed‑production related activities (mapping, collection, and native‑seed inventory) for forest restoration. • Award mechanism: BPA call order (continuous, pre‑qualified vendors). • Set‑aside: Small Business (SBA) – only SBA‑eligible firms on the LMIR BPA may receive the order.
