669 water tender blanket purchase agreement (BPA)

Boise Mobile Equipment, Inc. was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region on June 10, 2020, for the procurement of Department of Interior Class 669 water tenders and Class 644 crew carriers designed to support federal wildland fire management and emergency response operations. The BPA, which carries no small business set-aside designation, has a stated completion date of June 9, 2023, with a ceiling value of $0.00, though this baseline figure was exceeded through multiple call orders executed under the agreement. The contractor performs work at its manufacturing facility located in Boise, Idaho, and the contract operates under Boise Mobile Equipment's existing General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle, enabling streamlined procurement of specialized firefighting apparatus through pre-negotiated terms. Boise Mobile Equipment specializes in manufacturing turnkey firefighting vehicles including Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4 fire engines, tactical water tenders with varying tank capacities, and crew carriers engineered specifically for federal land stewardship and wildfire suppression missions across Idaho, Nevada, and surrounding western states.

The BPA framework generated multiple firm fixed-price call orders between June 2020 and May 2023, with individual order values ranging from approximately $367,000 to $411,000, collectively representing the delivery of specialized emergency response vehicles to support the BLM's fleet modernization and operational readiness. Call orders executed under this agreement included awards on June 22, 2020 ($367,025 and $375,968.60), May 4, 2021 ($367,025), multiple September 3, 2021 orders (each valued at $399,095.95), May 19, 2022 orders ($400,933.55 and $400,590.55), and a May 18, 2023 order valued at $411,337.39 with a final delivery date extended to February 28, 2025. This indefinite delivery vehicle arrangement demonstrates the BLM Idaho Region's reliance on Boise Mobile Equipment as its primary supplier of mission-critical firefighting and emergency response vehicles, with the BPA mechanism facilitating efficient procurement of recurring vehicle acquisitions essential to land management operations across the western United States.
