This single-award IDV was issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Northern Region to facilitate airport use during wildland fire incidents in Meagher County, Montana. With a potential value of $250,000 and period of performance from August 2023 to May 2028, the IDV enables task orders for airport services and support at Meagher County Airport during the 2023 wildland fire season and subsequent annual reviews. The original solicitation sought to procure airport facilities and operations for incident response efforts, leveraging existing infrastructure to aid wildland fire management activities in the region. As wildland fires continue to impact the western United States, this IDV provides the Forest Service flexibility to activate airport resources in Meagher County as needed to support emergency response efforts over the next five years.
The prime contractor, Meagher County, will deliver airport services and facilities to support wildland fire operations under task orders issued against the IDV. As the local government entity responsible for Meagher County Airport, the prime is well positioned to provide airport capabilities and coordinate use of the facility with incident response activities. No set-asides were applied to this single-award IDV, reflecting the Forest Service's need to leverage existing county airport resources for maximum operational flexibility during wildland fire seasons. The award establishes an agreement for five-year use of Meagher County Airport while enabling task orders tailored to each year's wildfire response requirements.
