Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7729

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Aberasturi John, operating as Ultimate Off Road, to provide water handling services in support of fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. The contract, valued up to $250,000, was awarded on a firm fixed price basis as a total small business set-aside using the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The IDC allows the USFS to issue task orders for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across the covered regions. Aberasturi John, a sole proprietorship, has a history of providing similar water handling, vehicle, and mechanic services to the USFS through past prime contract awards. The scope of the IDC aligns with the USFS's need for timely, comprehensive water support capabilities to enable rapid response and coverage across a vast area of operations, which may also be utilized by other interagency cooperators like the Department of the Interior and National Park Service.

The original USFS solicitation designated the procurement as a total small business set-aside, with the potential for competitive awards across regional dispatch centers. Vendors were required to meet qualifications such as a valid email address, Unique Entity ID (UEI) number, active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and a Login.gov account to participate in the VIPR system. The contract has an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030, allowing the USFS to review the potential for adding new contractors or resources annually.
