Tribal Business Outreach Event - Preliminary Notice FY24

The US Forest Service is hosting a virtual Industry Day event in Spring FY24 focused on increasing exposure for Native American owned businesses to Forest Service project. The Government is particularly interested in reaching new and recent entrants who have not received a federal contract in the last 3 – 5 years, respectively.

The event will provide industry with information on projects to allow the Forest Service and Tribes to better “sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.” Consistent with the Forest Service mission, collaboration is necessary to achieve positive results and outcomes for ecosystem health, economic stability, social and cultural values, and community well-being.

This effort will also help create jobs in rural and tribal communities through economic development support and engagement.
