How to bid on Stone and Soil MBPA on Fort Drum for the Dept of the Army
What the Army is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Army is looking for businesses to enter into multiple five-year Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to supply various types of stone and soil. These materials include different grades of stone fill, subbase, washed stone, rip rap, railroad ballast, and screened topsoil.
These materials are essential for ongoing maintenance at Fort Drum, New York, covering roads, culverts, parking lots, and grass areas. Securing one of these BPAs means a long-term opportunity to provide necessary construction and landscaping materials to the Army.
