Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7448

Black Forest Wildland Suppression LLC, a Colorado-based small disadvantaged business, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a period of performance extending through May 30, 2030. This firm fixed-price contract, structured as a Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, provides water handling services to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract was awarded under a total small business set-aside designation, enabling the contractor to deliver equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs through regional dispatch centers utilizing the VIPR system for incident procurement and order placement.

The solicitation, posted on February 4, 2025, sought qualified vendors capable of providing comprehensive water handling resources and personnel with predetermined firm fixed-price rates to ensure rapid mobilization and budget predictability for federal agencies. Vendors were required to meet baseline qualifications including active System for Award Management registration, valid Unique Entity ID numbers, and established communication infrastructure. The contract framework accommodates up to 16-hour daily shifts and permits optional utilization by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The design of this multiple-award blanket purchase agreement enables flexible resource allocation across the four-region East Zone territory while maintaining standardized pricing mechanisms and allowing the U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office to assess opportunities for adding additional contractors or resources during the five-year contract period.
