Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7367

Utting Construction LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Raymond, Washington, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030. This firm fixed-price contract, established under a total small business set-aside, procures water handling equipment and services for the USDA Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations. The contract was established through the Virtual Incident Procurement system and represents one component of a broader multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement framework designed to enable rapid resource deployment during emergency incidents and prescribed project work across western U.S. Forest Service regions.

The scope of this contract encompasses the provision of specialized water handling equipment including Engines Types 3, 4, 5, and 6; Support Water Tenders Types 1, 2, and 3; and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1 and 2, with the contractor responsible for equipment supply, materials, transportation, and qualified personnel to meet all agreement specifications. Utting Construction's delivery orders under this vehicle have historically ranged from $14,130 to $89,310 and are structured around 16-hour daily shift operations, with payment determined by rates specified in individual delivery orders at the time of issuance. This contract mechanism enables the USDA Forest Service to access pre-positioned equipment and skilled work crews with minimal procurement lead time, supporting fire suppression capabilities and land stewardship initiatives across the Pacific Northwest region while maintaining the flexibility to evaluate contractor performance and add resources through annual reviews.
