About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Bill Paulton, doing business as Paulton Enterprises, with a $500,000 ceiling on February 6, 2026, under a total small business set-aside, with ultimate completion on May 30, 2030.
Paulton Enterprises is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Edgemont, South Dakota. Work is performed across western U.S. locations—South Dakota, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, California, Montana, Arizona, and Nebraska—with place of performance tied to regional Forest Service offices in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.
The contract was solicited to support water handling services for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work through the Virtual Incident Procurement system. The solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, with quotes due March 23, 2025, sought vendors capable of providing water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs. Rates are structured to accommodate up to 16-hour daily shifts, with payment determined by agreement rates in effect at time of order. Optional use by interagency cooperators—the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs—is permitted.
Recent task-order activity under this IDIQ includes a $33,200 total small business set-aside delivery order for water handling equipment and services awarded March 13, 2026. The vendor operates as a prime contractor on multiple-award vehicles under the Forest Service and allied federal agencies, with no subcontract relationships and no positions on government-wide vehicles outside the Forest Service ecosystem.
