Indefinite Delivery Contract 12024B26T7109

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) to Expeditors By Lindale Inc. (UEI: HAH5GAN9TK55), a small business entity based in Orange, California, on February 6, 2026. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price, multiple award IDC with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through May 31, 2028. The contract was awarded under the Total Small Business set-aside following a pre-solicitation posted on February 21, 2023, with proposals due on April 7, 2023. The primary deliverable under this IDC is crew carrier buses for Region 13 on a national basis, which support wildland fire management and emergency incident response operations conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and interagency partners.

Expeditors By Lindale Inc. provides this crew carrier bus capability through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, an IDV vehicle designed to enable rapid acquisition of specialized equipment and services during emergency situations without the need for full and open competition on individual task orders. The contractor's extensive experience delivering incident support equipment across multiple Forest Service regions—including mobile camps, laundry and hand wash units, medical supplies, generators, communication units, and refrigerated trailers—demonstrates established logistical capabilities for supporting fire suppression and all-hazard emergency response. The crew carrier bus contract aligns with NIFC's mission to facilitate coordinated resource procurement across federal agencies responding to national emergencies and represents one of several VIPR IDCs held by the contractor, all set aside for small businesses with comparable ceiling values and multi-year performance periods.
