About this IDV
The Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to Cahoon Contracting LLC, a minority-owned, HUBZone certified small disadvantaged business located in Charlo, Montana. The IDC, valued up to $250,000, is for water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across USFS Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to award multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) and facilitate rapid deployment of equipment and personnel. Key requirements include providing vehicles, heavy machinery, and specialized firefighting equipment, as well as trained personnel to meet emergency response needs. The contract is structured as a total small business set-aside, with the potential for competitive awards across regional dispatch centers. The period of performance extends from the award date of May 30, 2025 to the ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030.
The original solicitation, issued under the VIPR program, sought quotes from small businesses capable of delivering comprehensive water handling support services across the targeted USFS regions. Vendors were required to meet several qualifications, including having a valid UEI number, active SAM registration, and a Login.gov account. The solicitation emphasized the need for timely response and cost-effective emergency support, with proposed rates based on up to 16-hour daily shifts. While specific award values were not disclosed, the contract allows for optional use by other federal agencies, such as the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.
