This firm fixed-price contract, set aside for total small business, provides water handling services for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support in U.S. Forest Service Regions 3 (Southwestern) and 8 (Southern).

The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on February 4, 2025, sought qualified vendors through a Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement mechanism administered by the USDA Forest Service.
