How to bid on mechanical brush hogging for the USDA Forest Service
What the agency is buying
The USDA Forest Service needs mechanical brush hogging services for 246 acres in the Big Pine Ranger District of the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest in Hector, AR. This work involves land management and natural resources restoration.
This specific opportunity is a call order under an existing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) called the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA. This means only businesses already approved under the LMIR BPA will receive the request for quotes for this specific project.
Key dates and deadlines
The deadline for this specific call order is August 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. Responses received after this time will not be considered for this particular project.
It is important to note that the LMIR BPA itself is continuously open, meaning new contractors can seek to join it at any time, even though this specific call order has a firm deadline for existing BPA holders.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for businesses with experience in mechanical brush hogging, land management, or natural resource restoration. Specifically, it targets firms that are already approved vendors under the USDA Forest Service's Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA.
If your firm is not currently on the LMIR BPA but offers these services, you can still pursue future opportunities by seeking to join the continuously open LMIR BPA.
How to respond
This is not an open solicitation for all vendors. The request for quotes for this brush hogging project will be emailed directly to the 69 businesses currently listed on the LMIR BPA. Any updates or changes to the request will also be sent via email to these approved vendors.
If you are not on the LMIR BPA but wish to join for future opportunities, you can search for solicitation number 12363N23Q4023 on SAM.gov under 'Contracts'. The point of contact for joining the LMIR BPA is [email protected].
Practical tips for competitive responses
For those already on the LMIR BPA, ensure your quote directly addresses all requirements outlined in the request. Pay close attention to the scope of work, acreage, location, and any specific equipment or personnel qualifications mentioned.
If you are looking to join the LMIR BPA, thoroughly review the requirements for that continuous solicitation. Highlight your firm's experience in land management, natural resource restoration, and similar services. Clearly demonstrate your capacity to perform the types of work covered by the BPA, such as professional services, engineering, or project management.
