Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7326

Central Valley Fire LLC, a small business based in Hailey, Idaho, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract on February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center to provide water handling services across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract is structured as a Vendor Information Provisional Reliance Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (VIPR I-BPA) under a firm fixed-price pricing model with a total contract ceiling of $250,000 and an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030. This small business set-aside contract represents one component of a broader federal procurement strategy to establish multiple vendors capable of delivering comprehensive water handling support for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across Forest Service regions in the Western United States.

The contract scope encompasses provision of water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support emergency response operations. Task orders are issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system via national and regional dispatch centers as incidents occur, with compensation determined by established agreement rates at the time of order issuance. Vendor performance requirements include capacity to sustain up to 16-hour daily operational shifts and rapid deployment capabilities to unpredictable wildland fire locations. The solicitation emphasizes contractor qualifications including active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number, and demonstrated capability to provide timely resource support. The contract also permits optional utilization by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, establishing a collaborative framework for multi-agency emergency response coordination across the specified regions.
