About this IDV
This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to Buscher Engines, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Sheridan, Oregon. The $250,000 multiple award IDC, effective through June 2025, covers the provision of water handling equipment, engines, parts, and related services to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response activities across Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. The contract utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and has generated over $200,000 in delivery orders in recent years, with task orders involving the supply of engines, equipment, and vehicles to various Forest Service regions. The original solicitation was designated as a total small business set-aside, seeking contractors capable of providing equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across the specified regions. Proposed rates were required to accommodate up to 16-hour daily shifts, with payment determined by the agreement rates in effect at the time of order.
The IDC allows for optional use by interagency cooperators, including the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The USFS Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office retains the ability to annually review the potential for adding new contractors or resources during the contract period, ensuring the government can meet evolving emergency response requirements across the western United States.
