Fireco, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business based in Boise, Idaho, was awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center through the USDA Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region. This Firm Fixed Price contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, extends through May 29, 2030, and was awarded on February 6, 2026. The contract encompasses the provision of water handling equipment and services critical to wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations across the Pacific Northwest. The scope of deliverables includes Engines Type 3, 4, 5, and 6; Support Water Tenders Type 1, 2, and 3; and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1 and 2, with Fireco, Inc. responsible for furnishing equipment, materials, transportation, and trained personnel to meet all agreement specifications.

This procurement was originated through a pre-solicitation notice posted on February 4, 2025, with quotes due by March 21, 2025, soliciting qualified small businesses to participate in a Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system-administered framework. Multiple award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements were anticipated to be established through competitive selection, with contractors expected to support emergency incident response, prescribed project work, and potential interagency cooperative efforts. The contract establishes a flexible mechanism for regional dispatch of water handling resources, with vendors encouraged to align with dispatch centers geographically proximate to their resource locations to optimize response times and cost-effectiveness. Proposed rates are structured around 16-hour daily shift operations, with payment determined by the rates specified in individual delivery orders at the time of issuance, and the Forest Service conducting annual reviews for potential contractor additions or resource modifications.
