The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) worth up to $250,000 to Red Axe Fire LLC, a small business, to provide water handling services in Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. Under this IDC, the Forest Service has issued several firm fixed price delivery orders to Red Axe Fire LLC for water delivery services in support of wildland fire suppression and management activities in the Pacific Northwest region, primarily in Oregon locations such as Springfield, Medford, and Bend. The total value of these delivery orders is approximately $171,769, with individual orders ranging from $19,990 to $52,055 and completion dates from September 2022 through September 2024. Red Axe Fire LLC also holds a separate $7.5 million multiple award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with the Forest Service to provide prescribed burn support services in Oregon and Washington through January 2030. These contract vehicles demonstrate Red Axe Fire LLC's specialized capabilities in supporting the Forest Service's wildland fire management mission across the western United States. The original solicitation was issued by the USDA Forest Service to competitively award multiple pre-season Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for water handling services using a total small business set-aside. The contracted services include providing all necessary equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, trained personnel, and personnel management to support local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents on federal lands. The I-BPAs allow the Forest Service to call upon these pre-qualified small business vendors on an as-needed basis to rapidly deliver water support when emergencies arise.
