About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Outback Firefighting, Inc., a small business, for water handling equipment and personnel in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on February 6, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $500,000 and a total small business set-aside designation. This is one of ten multiple-award parent IDCs the vendor holds under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each valued at $250,000.
Work is performed nationwide with regional dispatch centers, primarily supporting the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. The solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, and closed March 21, 2025, sought engines (Type 3–6), support water tenders (Type 1–3), and tactical water tenders (Type 1–2), with contractors providing equipment, materials, transportation, and trained personnel capable of 16-hour operational shifts to support wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response.
The contract runs through May 29, 2030. Performance is firm fixed price. Under the VIPR rapid-response architecture, individual task orders issued under this parent IDC carry no set-aside restriction despite the parent vehicle's total small business designation, permitting unrestricted competition at the ordering level to accelerate emergency resource deployment. Task orders under Outback Firefighting's parent VIPR portfolio range from approximately $4,700 to $662,000, with completion dates typically 7–90 days. Recent activity shows deployment of water trucks (potable and gray water variants), generators, and trained firefighting crews across Forest Service regions, with task-order values frequently exceeding $400,000 per order.
