The National Interagency Fire Center, operating under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract to Nwforest LLC, a women-owned small business based in Powell Butte, Oregon, for water handling services supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incident response in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region). The contract, awarded on February 6, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of May 29, 2030, is structured as a multiple-award, total small business set-aside contract using firm fixed-price delivery orders. Nwforest LLC will provide comprehensive water handling equipment and services including Engines Types 3, 4, 5, and 6; Support Water Tenders Types 1, 2, and 3; and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1 and 2, along with associated materials, transportation, personnel, and equipment deployment necessary to support regional incident response operations.

The original solicitation, posted February 4, 2025 with quotes due March 21, 2025, established multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement awards through competitive selection targeting small business contractors capable of supporting emergency incident response and prescribed project work. Contractors are required to maintain active System for Award Management registrations and participate in the Virtual Incident Procurement electronic ordering system, with regional dispatch centers coordinating equipment requests based on vendor location and availability. Proposed pricing is structured around up to 16-hour daily shifts, with the government anticipating flexible, responsive procurement mechanisms to support wildland fire and emergency incident management across the Pacific Northwest region, with potential for annual reviews to add new contractors or resources as needed.
