Blanket Purchase Agreement 1202SC22T2719

This is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to Scot-Med LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Hazelwood, Missouri. The BPA has a ceiling value of $2.25 million and runs through September 2027. Under this agreement, Scot-Med provides refurbishment, updates, and builds of standardized first aid kits, including National Fire Equipment Specification (NFES) #1143 and #1760 kits, used by wildland firefighters responding to wildfires and other hazardous incidents. Multiple task orders have been issued to Scot-Med for these services, ranging from $12,000 to $194,000, with typical performance periods concluding by the end of the fiscal year in September. This contract supports the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program's efforts to maintain critical medical supplies and equipment to enhance firefighter safety and readiness for wildfire response.

The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice for a Woman-Owned Small Business set-aside, multi-award BPA or simplified acquisition for first aid kit refurbishment, update, and build services on a nationwide basis. The notice indicated the BPA would provide first aid kits to support wildland firefighters engaged in fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and severity/preparedness assignments. Scot-Med's fixed-price rates under the BPA were required to cover all associated labor, equipment, materials, shipping, and applicable taxes.
