About this IDV
The key products and services being delivered under this federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) award to Blacktail Fire Services, Inc. are water handling resources and personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work for the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The $250,000 IDC was awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which enables the USFS to rapidly obtain critical wildland fire management capabilities from small business contractors like Blacktail Fire Services. The contract is a firm fixed-price vehicle, with task orders typically covering 10-20 day periods during peak fire season and compensating the contractor based on prevailing agreement rates. The original solicitation was designated as a total small business set-aside, with the USFS seeking vendors capable of providing a comprehensive range of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across multiple regions.
Blacktail Fire Services, a for-profit subchapter S corporation based in Montana, has an extensive history of providing specialized heavy equipment and operational support for federal wildfire management programs, primarily through contracts with the USFS. In addition to this IDC, the company holds multiple other IDCs and a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the USFS, demonstrating its proven ability to reliably deliver critical resources and services required to support the agency's fire suppression, prevention, and land management efforts.
