About this IDV
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $250,000 to support heavy equipment with water capabilities for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work in Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone). The IDC, which is set aside for total small business participation, was awarded to the prime contractor Austin Logging, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Marengo, Indiana.
The IDC enables the Forest Service to issue firm fixed-price task orders to Austin Logging and other small business vendors as needed for emergency response deployment across the Eastern United States and nationwide. The contracted equipment and personnel offerings include skidder vehicles, soft tracks, pumper cats, and qualified operators to support wildland fire suppression efforts. The contract has a performance period through May 2025 and allows for optional use by other federal agencies such as the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, subject to their administrative terms.
