About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Thompson & Sons Inc. on February 6, 2026, with a $500,000 ceiling for water handling support across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract is a total small business set-aside and extends through May 30, 2030.
Thompson & Sons Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned small business registered in Glasgow, Montana, specializing in water handling resources, heavy equipment rentals, and emergency response equipment provision to federal land management agencies. The company supplies water tenders, Type 2 water vehicles, dozers, excavators, and transport vehicles for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response.
The originating solicitation, posted in February 2025, sought multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling services supporting fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the same four East Zone regions. Vendors were required to hold active SAM registration, valid UEI numbers, and Login.gov accounts. The government evaluated quotes on the contractor's ability to provide timely water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel. Proposed rates accommodate up to 16-hour daily shifts, with payment determined by agreement rates at the time of order. Optional use extends to Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The U.S. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office reserves the right to annually review potential for adding new contractors or resources during the contract period.
