Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB26T8158

Fire Trax LLC, a small business based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was awarded a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract by the National Interagency Fire Center under the U.S. Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement program on February 6, 2026. This multiple-award, firm fixed price contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and extends through May 30, 2029. The contract establishes a vehicle with driver service agreement specifically for chippers supporting the East Zone, encompassing Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4. Fire Trax LLC will provide chipper equipment along with associated personnel, transportation, lodging, and other ancillary costs on an as-needed basis through task orders issued at 16-hour daily shift rates.

The underlying solicitation, posted February 2, 2024, sought multiple vendors to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the three designated regions. The Forest Service evaluated quotes using socioeconomic factors and small business considerations to establish preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. By leveraging the VIPR system and its established dispatch centers, the procurement enables the Forest Service to rapidly acquire critical firefighting resources during peak fire seasons and emergency incidents. Fire Trax LLC's existing expertise in wildland fire management and demonstrated capability delivering specialized equipment and personnel support across multiple western regions positioned the company to meet the Forest Service's operational requirements for flexible, on-demand chipper services essential to incident suppression efforts.
