The federal contract IDV is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the USDA Forest Service to Ramesz Excavating LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Rexford, Montana. The $250,000 IDC is a total small business set-aside to provide miscellaneous heavy equipment such as feller bunchers, mulchers/masticators, road graders, and skidders to support fire suppression and land management operations across USDA Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 8. Additionally, Ramesz Excavating holds a separate $2,000,000 single-award IDC specifically for road maintenance blading services in the Northern Region, set to run through April 2028. The contract aims to procure heavy equipment and personnel to support the Forest Service's local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression, prescribed burn, and all-hazard incident response efforts. Ramesz Excavating has an established history of providing excavation, blading, and equipment rental services to the Forest Service in Montana, with prior awards ranging from $6,151 to $55,857. The original solicitation was issued by the USDA Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 using the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, seeking quotes from small businesses that can meet the specified equipment and personnel requirements. Awards will be made to multiple contractors to establish preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for the requested equipment and services, with consideration given for socioeconomic status. The contracted resources may be utilized by the Forest Service and other federal, state, and local agencies for fire suppression, prescribed burns, and all-hazard incident response across the designated regions.
