Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC22T2304

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $167,020,000 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression, Inc., a for-profit forestry and emergency services company, for up to 41 Type 2-IA, 20-person wildland firefighting crews. The contract, set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 115310, provides for wildland fire suppression, initial attack response, prescribed burning, hazardous fuels reduction, and ecosystem restoration services across national forests and grasslands. In addition to the IDIQ, Firestorm holds a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region for stewardship services, as well as a $250,000 IDIQ contract for water handling and another $250,000 IDIQ for chipper services in select Western regions. These contract vehicles demonstrate Firestorm's critical role in supporting the Forest Service's wildland fire management operations nationwide.

The Forest Service's original solicitation sought proposals for fully trained and equipped wildland firefighting crews to provide initial attack and all-hazard incident response services under a small business set-aside. The resultant IDIQ contracts have a base period through December 2021, with up to four option periods at the government's discretion. The contracts allow the Forest Service to issue delivery orders for wildland fire management services as needed to protect lives, property, and natural resources from wildfires across national forests and grasslands.
