Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7764

The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Rundell, Inc., a small business headquartered in Drain, Oregon, on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and ultimate completion date of May 28, 2029. This Total Small Business set-aside contract procures miscellaneous heavy equipment exclusively for Region 6 of the Pacific Northwest under firm fixed price terms. The contract supports wildland fire suppression, prescribed project work, and incident response operations, with Rundell, Inc. responsible for providing equipment, personnel, training, and certifications as required by delivery orders issued under the vehicle. Performance is geographically limited to the Pacific Northwest region, with equipment deployment coordinated through dispatch centers positioned to meet established response time requirements.

The original solicitation, issued as a Pre-Solicitation Notice in February 2024, sought to establish multiple blanket purchase agreements with small businesses for heavy equipment rentals and leasing services under North American Industry Classification System code 532412. Evaluation criteria included proposed rates based on 16-hour daily shifts, technical qualifications supported by photographic evidence, and socioeconomic status considerations. The Forest Service intended to award multiple contracts competitively to vendors with resources positioned within or near advertised dispatch centers, with pricing structured to encompass all operational costs including equipment mobilization, operator availability, and maintenance support. Rundell, Inc.'s selection reflects its demonstrated capability in rapidly deploying heavy equipment—including dozers, excavators, water tenders, and mobile mechanic services—to support critical federal land management operations across western United States regions.
