Clearwater Fire Support LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Caldwell, Idaho, was awarded a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract on February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center to provide water handling services for Regions 3 and 8 through a Firm Fixed Price procurement designated as a total small business set-aside. The contract extends through May 6, 2030, and enables the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support. The scope of services encompasses the provision of water handling equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical resources necessary to support wildland fire protection, emergency response operations, and prescribed project work across the specified geographical regions.

The original solicitation, posted on February 4, 2025, as a pre-solicitation notice for a Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, established critical vendor qualifications and performance standards including proximity to regional dispatch centers, capability to meet emergency response timelines, and the ability to provide water handling resources based on up to 16-hour daily operational shifts. The procurement allows for optional use by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with rates and payments subject to annual review and potential adjustment by the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office. The contract structure supports flexible, timely emergency response capabilities while maintaining competitive procurement practices through periodic reviews for potential contractor additions or resource modifications.
