About this IDV
This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to Franklin-Owens, Don Jesse, a sole proprietorship based in New Mexico. The $250,000 IDC, designated as a total small business set-aside, covers water handling services for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident support, and prescribed project work in Forest Service Regions 3 and 8. Franklin-Owens, an experienced Forest Service contractor, will provide equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical resources necessary for these operations. The contract allows for optional use by other federal land management agencies. Two related delivery orders, valued at $11,783 and $29,900 respectively, were also awarded to Franklin-Owens for specific water handling support services in the Southwestern Region (Region 3).
The original solicitation was issued through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, seeking vendors to establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for water handling services. The procurement was designated as a total small business set-aside, with the government anticipating multiple I-BPA awards across the specified regions. Vendors were required to meet qualifications such as having a Unique Entity ID (UEI) and active System for Award Management (SAM) registration. Proposed rates were to be based on up to 16-hour daily shifts, with the Forest Service conducting periodic reviews to potentially add contractors or resources.
