Are you a business interested in working on USDA Forest Service projects?
The Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) enacted into law in 2020, gave the USDA Forest Service new opportunities to deliver benefits to the American public through major investments in recreation infrastructure, public lands access, and land and water conservation. These investments will enable communities to Build Back Better by contributing to economic growth and job creation in rural America.
With funding provided through the Great American Outdoors Act, the USDA Forest Service has collaborated with the Department of Interior (DOI), Fish and Wildlife Service (FS) to award many high-value IDIQ contracts for projects that address significant alteration, renovation, repair, and new construction on building, civil, electrical and mechanical projects.
Specific projects may include:
- Boat Launch Repairs
- Bridge Replacement
- Building Renovations
- Dam Improvement
- Fence Replacement
- Road Rehabilitation
- Safety Improvements
- Stair and Boardwalk Renovations
- Trail Rehabilitation

Registration + Capability Statement
Registration to attend is required and available at https://pmbc.connect.space/for...
During registration, you will be asked to upload a capability statement for your company if you are a business looking to connect with the prime contractors. If you do not have a capability statement, Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) are available to help prepare or update one. You can find your local PTAC by using the following link: https://www.dla.mil/Small-Business/PTAP/All-Locations/.
We encourage you to reach out to a PTAC representative for assistance in preparing your capability statement that you can submit at a later date to any prime contractors who may be interested in learning more about your company, if you are not able to submit with registration. Having a capability statement will provide the primes with the best information on your qualifications, which may be used in their selections of businesses to discuss subcontracting projects.
