DOI - BLM - National Travel Management Planning (TMP) BPA - MRAS

The Department of the Interior (DOI), through the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to facilitate the development of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for National Travel Management Services. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to implement comprehensive Travel Management Plans (TMPs) across public lands. The overarching goal is to ensure that travel networks on BLM-managed lands are systematically inventoried, evaluated, and planned in alignment with federal mandates and sustainable land management principles.

The work requested involves several key tasks aimed at enhancing BLM's travel network management. The contractor will be responsible for conducting a detailed route inventory, evaluating existing routes, and developing TMPs that comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These tasks are crucial for identifying route designations, establishing travel networks, and ensuring that public lands are managed according to Resource Management Plans (RMPs). The contractor's services will primarily be required in western states where BLM holds significant land parcels but may also extend to smaller holdings in eastern states.

Under this contract, which will be established as a Multiple Award BPA under GSA's Federal Supply Schedule 541620 with firm fixed pricing, vendors will need to offer competitive pricing while adhering to Federal Travel Regulations. The selection process for awarding contracts will follow a Best Value Trade-Off approach, focusing on achieving optimal outcomes for route inventory and planning services. Notably, this contract opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses under NAICS code 541620.

The successful implementation of these services is expected to support BLM's goal of completing TMPs across all remaining lands over the coming decades. By doing so, it aims to provide a consistent framework for managing transportation systems on public lands while fostering sustainable use and conservation efforts as mandated by federal law.
