Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7656

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 has awarded a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC, a small, Native American-owned limited liability company, for the provision of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. This IDC, which is designated as a total small business set-aside, utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to issue firm fixed price delivery orders ranging from $6,000 to over $100,000 for critical water handling resources. The contract allows for optional use by other federal agencies, including the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression has established itself as a critical vendor for the USFS's Fire and Aviation Management division, leveraging its small business and Native American-owned status to secure multiple contract awards supporting wildfire management efforts across the Western United States.

The original solicitation sought quotes from small business vendors capable of providing comprehensive water handling support across the East Zone regions. Vendors were required to meet certain qualifications, including having a valid email address, Unique Entity ID (UEI) number, active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and a Login.gov account. The USFS will annually review the potential for adding new contractors or resources during the 10-year contract period, with the goal of ensuring efficient and cost-effective emergency response capabilities across unpredictable wildland fire support locations.
