Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T7883

Barton Excavating Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business located in Ephraim, Utah, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a $250,000 ceiling value under a total small business set-aside. The contract extends through May 14, 2029, and provides miscellaneous heavy equipment support for wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work across the U.S. Forest Service East Zone, encompassing Regions 1, 2, and 4. The procurement was conducted through the Virtual Incident Procurement system and solicited equipment including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders, along with associated trained, managed, and certified personnel to support local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression operations.

Under the firm fixed-price delivery order structure, Barton Excavating Inc. is required to provide heavy equipment, personnel services, and all associated costs including transportation and lodging as specified in the original solicitation requirements. Resources may be deployed up to 16 hours per day, with pricing established to encompass all operational costs outlined in the solicitation documentation. This Indefinite Delivery Vehicle award positions the contractor as a qualified resource provider for the Forest Service's time-sensitive emergency response needs, enabling rapid procurement of critical equipment and personnel during fire seasons and all-hazard incidents across multiple regions, consistent with the contractor's existing portfolio of five concurrent Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the U.S. Forest Service.
