Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H126T7891

Spence Industrial/Wildfire LLC, a small business based in Fruitland, Idaho, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center (a component of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service) on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and performance extending through May 12, 2030. This total small business set-aside contract establishes a firm fixed-price vehicle for procuring miscellaneous heavy equipment exclusively for Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) wildland fire management operations. The contract is structured as a blanket purchase agreement component within the Vehicle Inventory and Procurement Reporting (VIPR) I-Blanket Purchase Agreement system, enabling rapid deployment of critical wildfire suppression resources through issued task orders rather than specifying equipment upfront at contract award.

The underlying solicitation, posted February 1, 2024, sought multiple agreements with small businesses to supply heavy equipment, personnel, training, and certifications for wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work in Region 6. Evaluation criteria included hourly rates, technical capability (assessed through photographic documentation), and socioeconomic status. Rates were to be based on 16-hour daily shifts with all costs included, and contractors were positioned geographically near dispatch centers to meet response time requirements. While specific equipment categories were not enumerated in the pre-solicitation materials, Spence Industrial/Wildfire LLC's broader contract portfolio with the Forest Service indicates typical deliverables include heavy equipment such as dozers, excavators, graders, and skid loaders, along with support vehicles, mechanics, operators, and trained firefighting personnel necessary for federal wildfire management operations.
