## Description

The US Forest Service intends to establish multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to provide fuel at various locations within the Idaho Panhandle National Forest (IPNF), to support Helitorch operations. The locations will be within the INPF in the following Ranger Districts: Priest Lakes, Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Coeur d’Alene River, and St Joe River.

Helitorch burning operations generally occur between April 1st and October 15th, with primary burning windows occurring in the spring (April-May), summer (August-September) and fall(September-October). The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, fuel, materials, supervision, management, and transportation necessary to meet the requirements. The contractor will be responsible for following all local, state, and federal regulations.

A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified sources. This is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to establish a pool of vendors who can provide the services outlined in the scope. This BPA consists of a five (5) year ordering period.

**Ordering Period 1:** May 31st, 2024 THRU May 30th, 2025 Ordering Period 2: May 31st, 2025 THRU May 30th, 2026 Ordering Period 3: May 31st, 2026 THRU May 30th, 2027 Ordering Period 4: May 31st, 2027 THRU May 30th, 2028 Ordering Period 5: May 31st, 2028 THRU May 30th, 2029 The U.S. Forest Service is a federal agency and subcomponent of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The Forest Service is a land management agency that protects and manages 154 national forests and 20 grasslands in 44 states and Puerto Rico, encompassing 193 million acres of land, in addition to numerous wilderness, recreation, scenic and other areas. The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

Several prescribed burning projects are planned during the spring, summer, and fall, although the exact day of ignitions will depend upon conditions aligning with safe implementation. Prescribed burning is part of each Ranger District’s annual natural resource management program to reduce hazardous fuels, prepare areas for tree planting, and improve wildlife forage.

Helitorch burning operations generally occur between April 1st and October 15th, with primary burning windows occurring in the spring (April-May), summer (August-September) and fall(September-October). Helitorch operations require the delivery of large quantities of non-ethanol gasoline and dyed off-road diesel.
