Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7222

Thunder Mountain Fire And Mitigation LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Olathe, Colorado, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract on February 6, 2026, by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) East Zone to provide water handling services and equipment for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The contract, valued at $250,000 and designated as a total small business set-aside, covers service delivery across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with a performance period extending through May 30, 2030. The contract operates under firm fixed-price terms and utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for issuing delivery orders, which are anticipated to range from $11,000 to $72,000 per order based on historical performance patterns.

The scope of work encompasses provision of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel capable of supporting emergency fire suppression operations, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incidents requiring rapid deployment across multiple regions. The original solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, required vendors to accommodate extended operational hours including up to 16-hour daily shifts and mandated contractors select dispatch centers aligned with their resource locations to enable cost-effective emergency response. The contract framework permits optional utilization by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with the USFS Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office retaining authority to review and potentially add contractors or resources on an annual basis throughout the contract period.
