About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Buffalo Bird, L.L.C., a Native American-owned, minority-owned small business, on February 6, 2026, for water handling services with a contract ceiling of $500,000.00 and a performance completion date of May 30, 2030. This is a total small business set-aside, firm fixed price vehicle.
Water handling services cover East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The scope includes equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and certified personnel to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. Task orders are competed among contract holders on an incident-specific basis through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with dispatch centers selecting vendors closest to resource locations for efficient emergency response. The contract accommodates up to 16-hour daily shifts, with payment determined by rates in effect at order time.
The originating solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, with quotes due March 23, 2025, designated this as a total small business set-aside opportunity. The U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office will conduct annual reviews for potential contractor or resource additions during the contract term. Optional interagency use is available to the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The contract allows the government to evaluate vendors based on their capacity to deliver timely, comprehensive water handling support across multiple regions and their ability to maintain rapid deployment readiness for unpredictable wildland fire locations.
