Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7633

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service (USFS) has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Cascade Water Supply LLC, a small business, to provide water handling services, equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and personnel for fire and incident response in the West Zone, covering USFS Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The IDC has a total ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period through June 2025. Under this IDC, Cascade Water Supply has been issued several firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $3,990 to $31,920 to support wildland fire suppression and forest management operations in the Pacific Northwest region. The services provided by Cascade Water Supply include water supply, water handling equipment and materials, water tenders, and helicopter services. This contract vehicle allows the USFS to rapidly deploy critical water support resources from local sources during wildfires or other emergency incidents, highlighting Cascade Water Supply's strategic role in supporting federal emergency and resource management operations.

The original solicitation, issued by the USFS Equipment and Services Branch, was set aside for small businesses and sought quotes for water handling services to be used during local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The contractor would be responsible for providing all necessary equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, trained personnel, and management of those personnel. The agreement was to be competitively awarded, with multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) anticipated to be awarded to small businesses.
