# House Members Seek Forest Act in NDAA

Representatives Scott Peters, George Whitesides, and Jeff Crank are urging congressional leaders to include the Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) in the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act or another must-pass bill, seeking enactment during this Congress. If enacted, the legislation could expand or accelerate federal forest-management and wildfire-mitigation work, but the signal identifies no specific procurement, funding amount, solicitation, or acquisition timeline.

- The proposed legislation is a potential policy driver for future federal forest-management and wildfire-mitigation activity, not a current contracting opportunity.
- Contractors in environmental and wildfire-mitigation services can track the bill’s legislative status and assess agency implementation if it is enacted.
- No contract action or submission deadline is identified, so companies should not treat the bill as an active solicitation.
