Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7252

Northern Utah Fire LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tremonton, Utah, was awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside with firm fixed pricing, establishes an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to provide water handling services across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030. Northern Utah Fire LLC will deliver comprehensive water handling resources and personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the U.S. Forest Service's designated regions, which encompass multiple western states including California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.

The scope of services encompasses the provision and deployment of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation services, and trained personnel capable of supporting extended operations including up to 16-hour daily shifts. The underlying February 2025 solicitation identified requirements for contractors capable of rapid mobilization and flexible resource allocation across multiple regional dispatch centers, with the understanding that deployment needs are unpredictable and may require immediate response to emergency incidents. Payment will be determined by agreement rates established at the time individual delivery orders are issued, allowing the government flexibility in procuring resources as incidents occur. The contract structure permits optional utilization by interagency cooperators, including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with the U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office retaining the right to evaluate and potentially add additional contractors or resources during the contract performance period.
