Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7819

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $250,000 to Rocky Mountain Fire Company, a small business based in Missoula, Montana. The contract is for water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the East Zone regions. The contract was awarded under a total small business set-aside and utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to issue task orders for water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel. The contract has an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030 and allows for optional use by other federal agencies such as the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The solicitation required vendors to have specific qualifications, including a valid UEI number, active SAM registration, and a Login.gov account to submit quotes electronically through the VIPR system.

The IDC awarded to Rocky Mountain Fire Company is one of two significant USFS contracts the company holds, the other being a $500,000 IDC for providing Type 2, 20-person firefighter crews nationwide. These IDCs enable the National Interagency Fire Center to rapidly deploy specialized firefighting resources, with Rocky Mountain Fire Company demonstrating a successful track record of executing such contracts across multiple western states. The water handling services contract provides the USFS with a reliable source of critical equipment and personnel to support fire suppression and all-hazard response efforts in the East Zone regions.
