Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7354

This Indefinite Delivery Contract, awarded to Ernesto Saul Magana Inc. (doing business as Texas Fire Service) by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, provides water handling equipment, supplies, materials, transportation, and trained personnel to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract, valued at $250,000 with a firm fixed-price structure, is designated as a total small business set-aside and represents one of multiple awards issued under the solicitation. The period of performance extends through May 30, 2030, enabling sustained resource availability for emergency response operations. The contract allows for flexible deployment capabilities, including support for up to 16-hour daily operational shifts to accommodate the unpredictable and time-sensitive nature of wildland fire incidents and prescribed project work across the specified regions.

The underlying solicitation, issued as a pre-solicitation notice on February 4, 2025, sought qualified vendors to provide water handling resources through the Virtual Incident Procurement system via multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. Contractors were required to demonstrate current System for Award Management registration, valid Unique Entity Identifier numbers, and organizational capability to rapidly mobilize equipment and personnel for emergency response. The contract framework accommodates optional use by interagency cooperators, including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, expanding the utility of the awarded resources beyond direct Forest Service operations. Vendors were expected to establish relationships with appropriate regional dispatch centers to ensure efficient deployment and cost-effective service delivery, with the government retaining annual authority to evaluate opportunities for adding additional contractors or resources throughout the contract period.
