About this IDV

Nesbitt's Arizona Surface Specialists, Inc. (UEI: C2EDKDFZWWM3), a Mesa, Arizona-based small business, was awarded a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a component of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, valued at $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of May 6, 2030. The contract was competitively awarded as a total small business set-aside under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) framework for water handling services supporting Regions 3 and 8. As a multiple-award contract, this vehicle enables the issuance of task orders for specialized water handling equipment, trained personnel, field support services, and transportation resources necessary to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and related emergency management activities across designated regional dispatch centers.

The contract procurement originated from a Forest Service pre-solicitation notice posted February 4, 2025, with quotes due by March 10, 2025. The solicitation emphasizes vendor capabilities in providing water handling resources with emphasis on geographic proximity to dispatch centers and ability to meet emergency response timelines, with rates structured on up to 16-hour daily shift operations. The contract scope explicitly supports fire suppression operations, hazardous fuels reduction, vegetation management, and prescribed project work, with optional use available to Department of Interior interagency cooperators including the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Annual contract reviews and potential on-ramping of additional contractors provide flexibility within the water handling services market, while the contract structure allows for rate determinations on an annual basis, enabling cost-effective and responsive resource allocation for federal land management and emergency response operations.
