Contracting

Forest Service offices annually purchase a wide variety of goods and services. Procurements by the Forest Service are guided by the Federal Acquisition Regulations as modified by various Department of Agriculture and Forest Service policies.

The Forest Service no longer maintains general 'bidders list'. All current and potential government contractors are currently required to enroll in Central Contractors Registration to be awarded contracts by any government agency. 

For more information on this process, follow the link to the System for Award Management. Formerly known as the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) site, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) transitioned to SAM in an effort to reduce the burden on those seeking to do business with the government.
