Eagle Cap Contracting LLC, a small business based in Baker City, Oregon, has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling services supporting East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract, awarded on February 6, 2026, with a completion date of May 30, 2030, is structured as a firm fixed price, multiple award vehicle set aside for total small businesses. Water handling services encompass equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support fire suppression operations, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the specified regions. The solicitation indicates that vendors are expected to provide resources capable of sustaining up to 16-hour daily operational shifts, with pricing to be established through a competitive quoting process utilizing the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

The contract enables rapid procurement and deployment of critical water handling resources across western U.S. national forest regions under the U.S. Forest Service's emergency response framework. Performance is anticipated to occur across multiple regional dispatch centers in Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with vendors expected to select dispatch locations proximate to resource positioning to ensure cost-effective and timely response capabilities. The multiple award structure allows for competitive allocation across qualified contractors, with optional usage available to interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Annual reviews are anticipated to assess potential contractor or resource additions throughout the contract period, supporting the Forest Service's need for flexible, responsive water handling support during fire suppression and ecosystem management operations.
