The U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Pacific Northwest Region 6, has awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Ice Fire Suppression Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for water handling equipment and services to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The $250,000 IDC, designated as a VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement), covers a 5-year period from May 2025 to May 2030. The contract aims to establish a flexible mechanism for the USFS to procure a variety of water handling equipment and related services, including Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines, as well as support and tactical water tenders. The contractor is responsible for providing the equipment, materials, transportation, personnel, and meeting all agreement specifications. The contract utilizes a total small business set-aside, with the USFS anticipating multiple pre-season I-BPAs to be competitively awarded. The contract allows for optional use by other federal and state agencies through interagency cooperation. The USFS will conduct annual reviews to potentially add new contractors or resources to the IDC.
