Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7267

Pacific Habitat and Fire, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Redmond, Oregon, was awarded a $250,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center under a Total Small Business set-aside on February 6, 2026, with performance extending through May 29, 2030. The contract provides water handling equipment and related services for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the U.S. Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region. The scope encompasses the provision, operation, and maintenance of specialized firefighting resources including Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 Engines; Support Water Tenders Types 1, 2, and 3; and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1 and 2, along with associated equipment, materials, personnel, and transportation services necessary to support emergency incident response and prescribed project work.

The Indefinite Delivery Contract operates as a multiple-award mechanism utilizing competitive selection and the Virtual Incident Procurement system to issue task orders and establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements on an as-needed basis. Contractors are required to propose rates based on up to 16-hour daily operational shifts, with compensation determined by rates specified in individual agreements at the time of dispatch. Performance is facilitated through regionally-based dispatch centers, with contractors encouraged to align with dispatch centers proximate to their resource locations to optimize response times and operational value. The contract reflects the government's strategy to establish flexible, responsive procurement arrangements for critical firefighting resources while supporting the Forest Service's emergency response and land management objectives across the Pacific Northwest region and potentially other federal land management agencies through interagency cooperative efforts.
