Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T8280

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued up to $250,000 to Con1 Fire LLC, a small business contractor, to provide water handling services in support of wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. Under this IDC, the Forest Service has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Con1 Fire to supply water tenders, firefighting personnel, equipment, transportation, and lodging. The original solicitation, issued via the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, was set aside for small businesses and intended to establish preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for water handling resources to support wildfire management on public lands. Con1 Fire, a for-profit limited liability company, has an established track record of providing these specialized fire management services to the Forest Service across the Pacific Northwest and Southwest regions, with prior contract values ranging from $12,400 to $42,900.

The IDC and associated delivery orders facilitate the Forest Service's ability to quickly access critical water handling capabilities, equipment, and personnel from qualified small business vendors like Con1 Fire to bolster national wildland fire response efforts. The flexible, indefinite delivery contract structure allows the agency to competitively procure these essential services as needed to support its fire suppression and all-hazard incident management missions across multiple geographic regions.
