About this IDV
Welch Bros LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Lewiston, Idaho, was awarded a Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (VIPR I-BPA) by the National Interagency Fire Center for the Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) supporting Region 6 – Pacific Northwest Region under a firm fixed price structure. The contract, valued at $250,000 with a ceiling and awarded on July 8, 2025, extends through July 8, 2030, and is designated as a total small business set-aside. This multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle enables Welch Bros LLC to provide heavy equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel to support fire suppression operations, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the Pacific Northwest region. The agreement operates through the VIPR system and allows for competitively awarded dispatch services based on geographic proximity and response capability, with compensation structured around rates for up to 16-hour daily shifts.
The underlying solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, and closing March 21, 2025, sought multiple I-BPA awards from vendors capable of furnishing equipment-based incident resources with specific technical qualifications and personnel training certifications. The procurement specifically targeted small businesses and provided evaluation preference for socioeconomic status advantages, enabling the U.S. Forest Service to establish a flexible pool of pre-qualified contractors for rapid deployment during emergency incidents and forestry management activities. Annual reviews are anticipated to evaluate contractor performance and potential addition of new resources during the contract period. The agreement structure permits optional utilization by interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, subject to applicable administrative terms, thereby extending the utility of the contract vehicle across multiple federal land management organizations in the region.
