Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H125T7177

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Region 6 Pacific Northwest, has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to the small business Pine Mountain Excavating for water handling equipment to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The $250,000 IDC, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, provides for a range of water handling resources including Engines (Types 3-6), Support Water Tenders (Types 1-3), and Tactical Water Tenders (Types 1-2). The contractor is responsible for providing the equipment, materials, transportation, and personnel to meet the agreement specifications. The IDC has a performance period through May 2030 and allows for the issuance of task orders on an as-needed basis to support emergency incident response, prescribed project work, and potential interagency cooperation within the Pacific Northwest region. The original solicitation was designated as a total small business set-aside, with the government anticipating multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) would be competitively awarded.

The IDC enables the Forest Service to rapidly procure critical water handling resources to support wildland fire and all-hazard incident management across its Region 6 area of responsibility. By establishing a flexible, pre-competed contracting vehicle, the agency can efficiently dispatch equipment and personnel from Pine Mountain Excavating to wildfire suppression efforts, emergency response activities, and infrastructure protection as needed, while ensuring small business participation in these essential emergency management services.
