Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7866

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 has awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. The contract, valued up to $250,000, utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to award multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) to small business contractors. The solicitation focuses on vendors capable of providing equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across the designated regions. The contract has an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030 and was awarded on May 30, 2025 to the prime contractor Brandyn Harvey, doing business as Star Peak Fire. The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside, with the potential for optional use by other federal agencies such as the Department of the Interior and National Park Service.

The solicitation requires vendors to have specific qualifications, including a valid email address, Unique Entity ID (UEI) number, active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and a Login.gov account. Proposed rates should accommodate up to 16-hour daily shifts, with payment determined by the agreement rates in effect at the time of order. Vendors are expected to select dispatch centers closest to their resource location to ensure efficient and cost-effective emergency response, though wildland fire support locations may require rapid, unpredictable deployment across the designated regions.
