About this IDV
The Department of Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $250,000 to provide water handling equipment and services to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The contract, set aside for small businesses, establishes preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) that can dispatch resources from regional centers as needed. The prime contractor, Bessette, Ambrose, doing business as S.f. Ready, is a tribally-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business located in Omak, Washington. The contract covers a range of water handling equipment including Engines Type 3-6, Support Water Tenders Type 1-3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1-2, along with associated materials, transportation, personnel, and support services. The contract aims to provide a flexible and responsive mechanism for procuring water handling resources to support wildland fire and emergency incident management across the Pacific Northwest region, with the government anticipating multiple I-BPAs will be awarded through competitive selection among qualified small businesses.
The original solicitation was issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with quotes due by March 21, 2025. Vendors must have a valid email address, Unique Entity ID (UEI), active SAM registration, and a Login.gov account to participate. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price agreement, with proposed rates based on up to 16-hour daily shifts. Contractors will be expected to support emergency incident response, prescribed project work, and potential interagency cooperative efforts. The USFS Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office will conduct annual reviews to potentially add new contractors or resources.
