Contracting with the Pacific Southwest Region

The U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region, manages 20 million acres of national forest land in California, and assists the State and Private landowners in California, Hawaii, and the U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands.

Forest Service offices throughout the Region annually purchase a wide variety of goods and services including reforestation services such as tree planting and thinning, janitorial, equipment with operator, professional services, numerous supplies and construction of roads and facilities. Potential bidders may contact the lead contracting officer at their respective Province locations. For administrative purposes, these six Provinces are made up of 3-4 forests.

Procurements by the Forest Service are guided by the Federal Acquisition Regulation as modified by various Department of Agriculture and Forest Service policies. These rules and regulations may differ from Uniform Commercial Code. USDA Forest Service procurements are generally set aside for small business and may be subject to specific preference requirements.
