The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract to Texas Fire Resources, a small business sole proprietorship, on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling of $500,000 and performance through May 6, 2030. This is a total small business set-aside.
Place of performance covers Regions 3 and 8, serving water handling services for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support. The originating solicitation sought equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical resources for wildland fire protection, emergency response, and prescribed project work through a Virtual Incident Procurement framework. Vendors were evaluated on capability to provide water handling resources, proximity to dispatch centers, and ability to meet emergency response timelines, with pricing based on up to 16-hour daily shifts.
The contract operates on a firm fixed price basis and is one of multiple awards under the same VIPR I-BPA program. Recent task order activity under this IDIQ includes an $81,250 delivery order issued August 18, 2026, by Forest Service Region 8 for wildland fire suppression and prescribed fire management resources—Type 5 and 6 wildland fire engines, water tenders, prescribed fire crews, and tactical equipment—with performance at Lufkin, Texas and completion by September 11, 2026. Texas Fire Resources operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract exposure.
