How to bid on Cultural Resources Surveys for Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
What the agency is buying
The USDA Forest Service plans to purchase cultural resources survey services for the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. This work falls under the environmental category and is being procured through a competitive call order.
This notice is an intent to award, not a request for proposals. It informs the public about the agency's plan to issue a competitive call order to existing approved vendors.
Key dates and deadlines
This notice was published on July 30, 2026. The deadline for the competitive call order is August 25, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. At this deadline, responses from eligible companies will be due.
Only the 33 companies already approved under the Land Management Integrated Resources BPA will receive the actual request for proposals by email. Any changes to the request will also be sent via email to these approved companies.
Who this opportunity suits
This specific opportunity is restricted to companies already approved under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA for the USFS. There are currently 33 businesses eligible to receive this solicitation.
However, the LMIR BPA is continuously solicited, meaning other contractors may seek to join the BPA. The BPA covers a wide range of work including Professional Services, Natural Resources Restoration, Engineering, Project Management, NEPA, and Communications, suitable for firms in these areas.
How to respond
If you are one of the 33 approved companies under the LMIR BPA, you will receive the call order via email. You should respond according to the instructions provided in that email.
If you are not currently on the LMIR BPA but wish to join, you can search for solicitation number 12363N23Q4023 on the Government Point of Entry (GPE) to find information on how to become an approved contractor. The LMIR BPA is an open continuous BPA, allowing new responses to be accepted at any time.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
For those already on the LMIR BPA, carefully review the call order when it arrives. Pay close attention to the scope of work, specific requirements, and evaluation criteria. Ensure your proposal directly addresses all requested elements.
If you are considering joining the LMIR BPA, thoroughly research the types of services covered and the requirements for joining. Focus on demonstrating your firm's capabilities and experience in cultural resources surveys or other relevant land management areas to strengthen your application for the BPA itself.
