The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Lake Mountain Contracting, LLC on February 6, 2026, for the provision of heavy equipment with water services supporting Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 in the East Zone. The contract, valued at $250,000 and designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, operates under a Firm Fixed Price pricing structure with an ultimate completion date of May 21, 2030. Lake Mountain Contracting, a small business located in Ovando, Montana, will provide critical equipment and personnel resources for fire suppression, wildland management, and all-hazard incident response operations. The contract was solicited through the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement system as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement and encompasses the delivery of heavy equipment including dozers, excavators, tractor plows, feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders, along with associated materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, and personnel support for operations up to 16-hour daily shifts.

The procurement supports emergency incident management and prescribed project work across multiple Forest Service regions, with the agreement enabling interagency cooperation that extends potential service availability to other federal agencies including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Contractors under this agreement are responsible for proposing rates based on the specified service parameters and selecting dispatch centers positioned closest to their resource locations to facilitate timely emergency response. The Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office will conduct annual reviews during the contract period to evaluate the potential addition of contractors or resources. This Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement represents a flexible procurement mechanism designed to enable rapid deployment of heavy equipment and specialized personnel for critical fire management and emergency response scenarios across the specified geographic regions.
