Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7300

This federal contract IDV award to Allens Water Tender Service Inc., a small business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) issued by the U.S. Forest Service, a civilian agency. The IDC, valued up to $250,000, covers the provision of heavy equipment such as water tenders, dozers, excavators, and other specialized vehicles and operators to support wildland fire suppression, fuels reduction, and emergency response operations across U.S. Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.

The task orders issued under this IDC, ranging from $8,840 to $83,980, demonstrate Allens Water Tender Service Inc.'s ability to deliver a diverse scope of services, including water tender operations, heavy equipment rentals, and skilled operator support. While the majority of these task orders were not set aside for small businesses, Allens Water Tender Service Inc. has been awarded several small business set-aside contracts by the U.S. Forest Service, particularly for fuel break maintenance and equipment provision. This IDC is part of the U.S. Forest Service's broader Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, which competitively awards Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) to quickly mobilize critical firefighting and land management resources across the western United States.
