About this IDV
The Lake Group Inc., a Reno, Nevada-based small business, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with a $15 million ceiling by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center on July 1, 2025. This Total Small Business set-aside contract extends through December 31, 2029, and procures National Mobile Food Service Unit support for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and severity/preparedness assignments across the western United States. The contract requires The Lake Group to deliver appetizing, nutritionally balanced hot and cold meals, sack lunches, and supplemental food items directly prepared at incident sites for firefighters, emergency responders, and incident management personnel. Services encompass all necessary equipment, supervision, labor, materials, and supplies to support operations in diverse environments ranging from urban areas to remote primitive locations. The underlying solicitation was conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulations Parts 12 and 15 as a commercial, performance-based procurement with a two-phase evaluation process, utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable selection methodology for task order issuance.
Under this Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle, The Lake Group has received at least one substantive delivery order, including a $491,000 fixed-price task order with economic price adjustment issued by the Forest Service's Region 4 (Intermountain Region) on August 28, 2025, with performance in Jackson, Wyoming, and completion by December 31, 2025. This delivery order, issued without additional set-aside designation, exemplifies the contract's operational mechanism whereby the Forest Service can rapidly deploy mobile food services during wildfire seasons and emergency response operations, with maximum individual order values reaching up to $7.5 million. The Lake Group's extensive federal contract portfolio with the Forest Service across multiple regions, combined with this established Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle, positions the company to flexibly respond to the agency's critical nutritional support requirements for first responders engaged in emergency field operations throughout the western United States.
