Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7420

J T S Construction, Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center through the U.S. Forest Service for water handling services supporting East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract, valued at $250,000 with a firm fixed-price structure and total small business set-aside designation, extends through May 30, 2030, with an award date of February 6, 2026. The primary deliverables include potable and gray water trucks, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, water tenders, and associated trained personnel to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work across the western United States. Delivery orders under this contract have historically ranged from $1,500 to $50,000, with the company providing critical water handling resources on an as-needed basis to support emergency and land management operations.

The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on February 4, 2025 with responses due by March 23, 2025, sought to establish multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements through the Virtual Incident Procurement system for water handling services across the specified Forest Service regions. The solicitation required vendors to possess valid Unique Entity Identifier numbers, active System for Award Management registrations, and Login.gov accounts to participate. The contract framework contemplates flexible deployment of equipment and personnel, including support for up to 16-hour daily operational shifts, with optional use available to interagency cooperators such as the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Annual reviews by the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office allow for evaluation of additional contractor resources during the contract term, with rates established at the time individual delivery orders are issued.
