Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC22T2424

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to RJT Contracting Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, to provide Type 2 firefighter crews for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations nationwide. The $165 million IDC, which has an ultimate completion date of May 10, 2026, enables the Forest Service to issue task orders for RJT Contracting to furnish fully trained and equipped 20-person hand crews to support the agency's fire and emergency management missions across 14 states. The original solicitation, issued as a total small business set-aside, sought to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements for these services, with the Forest Service intending to re-solicit the requirement annually. The task orders awarded to RJT Contracting under this IDC, valued up to $3.75 million each, also cover forestry operations, hazardous fuels reduction, trail maintenance, reforestation activities, and other land/vegetation management services to support the Forest Service's natural resource stewardship responsibilities.

The contract with RJT Contracting provides the Forest Service with critical wildland firefighting and emergency response capabilities through a versatile multiple award vehicle that allows the agency to efficiently task order services as needed across different regions. This supports the Forest Service's mission to manage and protect America's national forests and grasslands, mitigating wildfire risks and ensuring sustainable multiple uses for the public lands under its jurisdiction.
