Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7315

This federal contract IDV award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at up to $250,000 to provide a range of miscellaneous heavy equipment and related services to support the Forest Service's East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, and 4. The prime contractor is Meadow Creek Contracting LLC, a certified HUBZone small business. The IDC enables Meadow Creek to rapidly mobilize equipment and personnel, such as feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders, to assist with local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed forestry projects. Meadow Creek Contracting also holds a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Forest Service for engineering and road maintenance services, as well as multiple other IDCs for heavy equipment rentals across various zones and regions, typically set aside for small businesses. This IDC was awarded through a total small business set-aside solicitation using the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with consideration given to socioeconomic status. The period of performance runs through May 2029.

The original solicitation sought quotes from contractors that could provide the required heavy equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and managed, supervised, trained, and certified personnel to support the Forest Service's operational needs across the East Zone. Responses were due by March 2024, and multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements were anticipated to be awarded. The solicitation specified equipment and personnel requirements, daily shift rates, and other terms to be included in the resulting IDCs and task orders. Vendors were required to have a valid UEI, SAM.gov registration, and USDA Level 2 eAuthentication account to submit quotes electronically through the VIPR system.
