From Nikki M. Layton:
Good afternoon,
When you log into SAM with your user profile, you can click the “Follow” icon on the main screen of the notice, and you will automatically receive email notifications of updates, including when the solicitation is posted.
And you can easily track your ‘followings’ in your Profile Workspace.

From Curtis Yocum:
Here is the link to view the BPA pre-solicitation. https://sam.gov/opp/
Please share far and wide. When we do solicit, I will notify you all with the new SAM link and provide the instructional letter to bidders that will be sent to each Forests timber bidder list. The letter will include a TEAMS Q&A meeting invite tentatively scheduled for June 16th at 0900.
Feel free to reach out anytime with any of your IRSC stewardship questions. Cheers!
