Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7818

Wyeast Forestry Management, LLC, a small business based in Hood River, 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 a performance period extending through May 29, 2029. This Total Small Business set-aside contract procures miscellaneous heavy equipment exclusively for Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work under a firm fixed-price structure. The contract was established following a pre-solicitation notice posted in February 2024 that sought to establish multiple blanket purchase agreements with small businesses through the Virtual Incident Procurement system. The solicitation required contractors to provide equipment, personnel, training, and certifications, with pricing based on 16-hour daily shifts and all associated costs included in rate proposals.

The contracted scope encompasses the provision of specialized heavy forestry equipment and skilled personnel required for wildfire suppression, emergency incident response, and prescribed forest management activities. Deliverables include miscellaneous heavy equipment such as excavators, skidders, feller bunchers, chippers, log trucks, and water trucks, as well as qualified equipment operators, fallers, and technicians capable of supporting complex forest management operations. The contract evaluation prioritized competitive rates, technical qualifications supported by photographic documentation, and socioeconomic status considerations. Awards were structured to position contractors within dispatch centers closest to their operational resources to meet response time requirements. This indefinite delivery vehicle enables the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service to rapidly procure essential equipment and personnel for time-critical wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the Pacific Northwest region.
