The National Interagency Fire Center awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Archer Mountain Enterprises LLC on July 20, 2026, with a ceiling of $250,000 and ultimate completion date of July 20, 2031. This is a total small business set-aside, multiple-award IDIQ for vehicle-with-driver services in Regions 1 and 4 only, issued on a firm fixed-price basis under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.
Place of performance encompasses wildland fire suppression and emergency response regions across the western United States, with operational focus on Regions 1 and 4 (Northern and Intermountain regions respectively), consistent with the VIPR infrastructure serving the Forest Service and NIFC.
The contract funds rapid resource deployment during fire seasons and emergency incidents. Archer Mountain supplies Type 3–6 fire engines, Type 1–3 support and tactical water tenders, Type 1 chipper equipment with crews, water handling services, vehicle-with-driver services, mechanic support with trucks, and trained faller personnel. Delivery orders under this and related VIPR IDCs carry firm fixed-price terms with short performance windows (typically days to weeks), reflecting the urgency of wildfire response.
The base period runs from July 20, 2026 through July 20, 2031. Recent delivery orders from Archer Mountain include a $67,900 order from Forest Service Region 4 on June 27, 2026 for wildland firefighting and incident response resources, and orders from Region 5 on August 13, 2024 ($226,383.54) and Region 4 on August 19, 2024 ($164,275). Across all 232 awards in Archer Mountain's current VIPR portfolio, combined potential value stands at $13.6 million, with $6.4 million obligated to date.
