About this IDV
The federal contract IDV award is for water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work for the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to award multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a period of performance from May 30, 2025 to May 30, 2030. The prime contractor, Allens Water Tender Service Inc., is a small business based in Buhl, Idaho that specializes in providing water tender services, heavy equipment rentals, and skilled operator support for federal land management agencies. The contract aims to procure equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs, with proposed rates based on up to 16-hour daily shifts. The opportunity was set aside for small businesses, with potential for competitive awards across regional dispatch centers closest to the contractors' resource locations.
The original solicitation indicates the USFS is seeking water handling resources and personnel capable of supporting fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the East Zone Regions. Vendors must meet several key 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 contract allows for optional use by interagency cooperators such as the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with the USFS Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office annually reviewing the potential for adding new contractors or resources during the contract period.
