Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7729

Nash Contracting, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Stanfield, Oregon, 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 completion date of May 28, 2029. This Total Small Business set-aside contract covers miscellaneous heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work exclusively in Region 6 of the Pacific Northwest. The contract establishes a Vendor Inventory for Preparedness Resources (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) mechanism, which enables the Forest Service to issue delivery orders for equipment and personnel deployment on an as-needed basis to support emergency response and land management activities. Nash Contracting's scope of work includes providing fully equipped heavy equipment resources such as dozers, excavators, and water-equipped vehicles, along with associated personnel, training, and certifications required for wildland fire management operations.

The underlying solicitation, posted February 1, 2024, sought multiple competitively awarded blanket purchase agreements with small businesses to establish a pre-positioned resource network capable of meeting response time requirements within advertised dispatch centers. Evaluation criteria included proposed rates based on 16-hour daily shifts, technical capability demonstrated through photographic documentation, and socioeconomic status considerations. The contract is optionally available for use by other Department of Interior agencies, including the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs, expanding its utility beyond the Forest Service for federal emergency response and natural resource management needs across western regions. All equipment costs, personnel expenses, training, and certifications remain the contractor's responsibility under the firm fixed-price structure.
