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) to Lone Elk Fire LLC, a small disadvantaged and woman-owned business, for water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. The IDC, valued at up to $250,000 per contract, utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel. This total small business set-aside contract enables the USFS to rapidly procure critical wildland fire resources during peak demand periods, with a period of performance through 2030. Lone Elk Fire LLC has been awarded multiple task orders under this IDC, ranging from $3,000 to over $80,000, demonstrating the company's capability to provide flexible and rapid response support for fire management activities across the western United States.
The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation for the USFS to obtain quotes from small businesses capable of providing water handling services, including equipment, personnel, and logistical support, to assist with fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work in the East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The solicitation was designated as a total small business set-aside, with potential for competitive awards across regional dispatch centers. Vendors were expected to select dispatch centers closest to their resource location to ensure efficient and cost-effective emergency response capabilities, as wildland fire support locations are unpredictable and may require rapid deployment.
