Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7684

Quick Response Fire & Environmental, LLC, a minority-owned and woman-owned small business based in Kooskia, Idaho, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026. The contract, which operates under a firm fixed-price structure with a total small business set-aside, is designated for the provision of heavy equipment with water capabilities across U.S. Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 within the East Zone. The contract will remain active through May 21, 2030, and encompasses the procurement of specialized equipment and personnel necessary to support fire suppression operations, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed fire management activities. Services to be delivered include Type 3 fire engines, water trucks, potable water and handwashing stations, and specialized vehicles such as skidgines, dozers, and excavators, with contractor-provided transportation, lodging, and personnel support based on up to 16-hour daily shift operations.

The underlying solicitation was issued as a pre-solicitation on February 5, 2025, with a response deadline of March 26, 2025, and will be administered through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) framework. This procurement structure enables flexible, on-demand resource deployment for emergency response scenarios while facilitating interagency cooperation with optional utilization by other federal entities including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The award reflects the U.S. Forest Service's strategy to establish multiple contract vehicles with qualified small businesses capable of delivering mission-critical firefighting resources and support services across diverse geographic regions, with annual reviews conducted to evaluate potential expansion of contractor resources and capabilities throughout the contract performance period.
