Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7445

Deshazer Excavation & Forestry LLP, a small business partnership based in Libby, Montana, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a contract ceiling value of $250,000.00. This firm fixed-price contract is set aside for small businesses and covers water handling services across United States Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract extends through May 30, 2030, and was established through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to enable rapid access to water handling equipment, supplies, and personnel for emergency fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. The original solicitation, posted on February 4, 2025, with quotes due by March 23, 2025, specified that vendors would be evaluated on their capacity to provide timely water handling support including equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel capable of supporting extended operational periods up to 16-hour daily shifts.

Under this multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA), Deshazer Excavation & Forestry will provide water handling resources and services to support wildland fire suppression and incident response activities across the specified Forest Service regions. The contract allows for optional use by interagency cooperators, including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Rates are established at the time of solicitation and applied to individual task orders issued through the VIPR system. The annual contract value ceiling of $250,000.00 reflects the government's anticipated demand for water handling support resources. As a prime contractor, Deshazer Excavation & Forestry will perform services directly, leveraging its established expertise in heavy equipment operation and land management support. The contractor must maintain a valid System for Award Management registration, active Unique Entity ID, and established dispatch capabilities at regional centers positioned for efficient emergency response deployment across the four designated Forest Service regions.
