With the procurement method set as an open procedure, the opportunity falls under the industry category of construction materials and associated items. This tendering process is part of a larger framework intended to support the Forest Service’s ongoing operations, including maintenance, harvesting, and road building. The tender process is currently active, and key dates include a submission deadline on 15 January 2026 and an award decision expected by 16 February 2026. This framework agreement will appoint a maximum of three suppliers on a non-ranked call-off list, choosing the Most Advantageous Tender for supply needs.
