About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract for water handling services in Forest Service Regions 3 (Southwestern) and 8, valued at $250,000, to Brandon T. Bakken, operating as Castle Mountain Fire, a Montana-based sole proprietorship. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside and employs firm fixed-price pricing, with a performance period extending through May 6, 2030. The underlying solicitation, issued as a Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, seeks comprehensive water handling support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, encompassing equipment, trained personnel, transportation, and logistical resources. Vendors must meet standard federal contracting prerequisites including active System for Award Management registration, valid Unique Entity ID numbers, and demonstrated capability to meet emergency response timelines. The procurement prioritizes vendors positioned in proximity to designated dispatch centers to ensure rapid resource mobilization during incident operations.
Two delivery orders have been issued under this Indefinite Delivery Contract, totaling $89,861.70 in firm fixed-price task order obligations. The first delivery order (NMCAF000416 E28), valued at $29,750.00 with completion by August 9, 2025, and the second (NMCAF000416 E29), valued at $60,111.70 with completion by August 13, 2025, both represent emergency response work performed in Taos, New Mexico, and do not utilize set-aside designations at the task order level. Castle Mountain Fire's established track record includes providing water tenders, fire engines, heavy equipment, and supporting personnel across multiple Forest Service regions since 2004. The contract structure enables the U.S. Forest Service and authorized interagency cooperators—including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs—to rapidly procure critical fire suppression resources, with annual rate reviews and potential expansion of contractor resources subject to government evaluation.
