About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Pathfinder Engineering Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $750,000.00 and a completion date of May 20, 2030. This is a multiple-award contract under a Total Small Business set-aside.
The contract provides Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) services for U.S. Forest Service Regions 1 and 4 through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement. Pathfinder delivers heavy equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed fire management operations across both regions.
The originating solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, sought small businesses capable of supporting emergency and prescribed project work with equipment such as dozers, excavators, water tenders, skidders, masticators, and road graders. Vendors were required to maintain valid UEI registration, active SAM enrollment, and demonstrated ability to meet 16-hour daily operational shifts during incident deployment.
The contract runs on a firm fixed-price basis with a base term through May 20, 2030. Work is performed across Forest Service Regions 1 and 4, with equipment pre-positioned at dispatch centers to enable rapid task-order placement during incident response. The scope is designated for optional use by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Recent delivery orders under related regional contracts include a $279,778 order from Forest Service Region 4 in June 2026 for engineering services and equipment support in Monroe, Utah, and a $523,984.80 order from the same region in July 2025 for miscellaneous heavy equipment support.
