Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7487

Fireco, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business based in Boise, Idaho, was awarded a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under a total small business set-aside on February 6, 2026, with performance extending through May 30, 2030. The contract is funded by the National Interagency Fire Center and covers water handling services for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 of the U.S. Forest Service. The contract utilizes firm fixed pricing and operates through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as a multiple award arrangement, enabling the Forest Service to issue delivery orders for water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support fire suppression operations, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work across the specified regions.

The solicitation, originally posted on February 4, 2025, with a due date of March 23, 2025, required prospective contractors to maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registrations and valid Unique Entity Identification numbers to compete for Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs). Vendors were evaluated on their capacity to deliver timely and comprehensive water handling support across multiple regional dispatch centers, with the understanding that service delivery rates would accommodate extended operational periods of up to 16 hours daily. The contract structure allows for optional use by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, with annual government reviews to assess the addition of new contractors or resources during the performance period.
