About this IDV
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 at up to $250,000 per award, will utilize the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to competitively select small business contractors capable of providing equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across the specified regions. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside, with vendors required to have an active SAM registration, Unique Entity ID, and Login.gov account to participate. Awarded contractors will be expected to select dispatch centers closest to their resource location to ensure efficient and cost-effective emergency response capabilities, with the understanding that wildland fire support locations are unpredictable and may require rapid deployment. The contract period of performance runs through May 30, 2030, with the USFS having the option to annually review the potential for adding new contractors or resources during the contract term.
The primary contractor awarded under this IDC is Flash Excavation Inc., doing business as Gordon Eckel, a small business based in Harpster, Idaho. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment rental and land management services to federal agencies, particularly the USFS. Flash Excavation holds several significant IDCs and a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the USFS, demonstrating its strategic positioning as a key provider of critical equipment and services for wildland fire suppression, incident response, and land stewardship efforts across the agency's Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.
