Purchase Order 140L3725K7014

The U.S. Forest Service awarded a $100,045 firm fixed-price purchase order to Outback Firefighting, Inc. for a Type 6 engine under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2025. Outback Firefighting, a small business subchapter S corporation based in Stevensville, Montana, serves as the prime contractor with no documented subcontractors. The work will be performed in Boise, Idaho, and this award carries no set-aside designation, despite the parent VIPR vehicles being designated as total small business set-asides.

This delivery order supports the Forest Service's wildland fire management operations, with performance through the VIPR system administered by the National Interagency Fire Center. Outback Firefighting has established itself as a key supplier of specialized firefighting equipment and trained personnel to federal agencies across multiple Forest Service regions, holding seven indefinite delivery contracts valued at $250,000 each for various water handling and equipment resources. The Type 6 engine acquisition reflects the company's broader role in supplying critical wildfire suppression and emergency incident response resources essential to the Forest Service's fire management mission across the nation's national forests and grasslands.
