Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7317

Crimson Sky Trucking, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Filer, Idaho, has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) effective February 6, 2026, through May 30, 2030. This Total Small Business set-aside contract supports water handling services across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with performance spanning the Intermountain and Pacific Northwest operational areas. The contract operates under a firm fixed-price structure and is administered through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which issues delivery orders via Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements managed by regional dispatch centers on an on-call basis.

The contracted services encompass water handling equipment, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. Deliverables include providing water tenders, transporting vehicles and equipment, and furnishing logistical support capable of accommodating extended operational tempo of up to 16-hour daily shifts. The solicitation criteria emphasize vendors' capacity to deliver timely and comprehensive water handling resources with rapid deployment capabilities, given the unpredictable nature of wildland fire locations. The contract structure allows optional use by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with annual government review of contractor performance and potential expansion of resources. Contractors are expected to maintain active System for Award Management registration and utilize regional dispatch centers aligned with their resource locations to optimize emergency response effectiveness.
