Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7423

Rocky Mountain Fire Company, a small business contractor based in Missoula, Montana, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center (NICF) with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through May 30, 2030. The contract was awarded on February 6, 2026, as a total small business set-aside under firm fixed-price terms. The primary scope of work involves providing water handling services, equipment, materials, supplies, and trained personnel to support fire suppression operations, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. These services are procured on an as-needed basis through task orders issued via the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs), with the contract authorized for use by multiple federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The underlying solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on February 4, 2025, with quotes due by March 23, 2025, sought multiple qualified vendors capable of rapid deployment to support emergency response needs across geographically dispersed dispatch centers. Prospective contractors were required to maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registrations, valid Unique Entity Identifiers (UEI), and Login.gov accounts. The contract structure permits flexible service delivery through negotiated rates accommodating up to 16-hour daily shifts, with compensation determined by agreement rates in effect at the time of order issuance. The competitive, multi-award approach enables the U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office to maintain flexibility in contractor selection while ensuring adequate resource capacity for unpredictable wildland fire support requirements across multiple western regions.
